Creating the Field

Once the add-on is installed, you can create "Issue Picker" custom fields just as you would with any other field type in Jira.

Steps to Create the Field

1. Navigate to Custom Fields:

   • In your Jira instance, click the Settings icon (cogwheel) in the top right corner.
   • Select Issues from the dropdown menu.
   • In the left sidebar, under the FIELDS section, click Custom fields.

2. Create a New Field:

   • Click the Create custom field button.
   • A side menu will open. Search for and select the Issue Picker Field type.

   

   • Enter a Name for your field (e.g., "Related Issues," "Depends on"). This is the name users will see.
   • Provide a Description (optional) to clarify the field's purpose.
   • Click Create.

   

   That's it! You have created your first Issue Picker field.

3. Associate the Field with your Screens:

   • After creating the field, Jira will enable it for you to associate with one or more screens in your projects.
   • Find the field with the name you created.
   • In its settings, select the Add field to screen option.

   

   • Check the boxes for the screens where you want the field to appear (e.g., PROJECT: Create Issue Screen, PROJECT: Edit/View Issue Screen).

   

   • Click Update.

Now that the field exists, the next step is to configure its behavior and appearance.
