Custom fields provided by Dynamic Forms

Adding different custom fields

You can use different fields than those defined in the table above.

Steps

To add a user-defined custom field to Dynamic Forms:

  1. Find jira-config.properties file.
Note
If your jira-config.properties file is missing, create it in JIRA_HOME.
  1. Add following formula to the file:

    dynamicforms.enable.related.fields=A,B,C

    where A,B, C are types of fields (see the Type column in table below).

Note
Remember to add types of fields after the decimal point.

Result

A different user-defined custom field is available.

Jira Toolkit fields

Message Edit and Message View are provided by the Toolkit Plugin for Jira and defined as follows in the plugin’s documentation:

These fields are used to added arbitrary HTML to edit and view pages. Edit the default value of these fields and you can easily add custom messages to various screens or otherwise change the look and feel of Jira. You can also use Velocity templates in these fields which makes your changes easily portable across different Jira versions.

Configuration

Both Message fields can be defined in many different ways in HTML, making it impossible for us to support every possible case. However, if configured in a specific way, the Message fields can be set as related in Dynamic Forms.

To make it work you’ll need a div with a field-group class, enclosing an HTML element, where the name attribute has the ID of the Message field to be configured.
