Learn about translating options in dynamic custom fields
Info
To configure Translations, log in as a user with Jira Administrators global permission.
Translations allow for translating options in custom fields provided by the Dynamic Forms app. Before you start translating, add a dynamic custom field to Jira. You can choose from the following types:
Deviniti Dynamic Forms for Jira - Dynamic Cascading Select
Deviniti Dynamic Forms for Jira - Dynamic Checkboxes
Deviniti Dynamic Forms for Jira - Dynamic Multiselect
Deviniti Dynamic Forms for Jira - Dynamic Radio Buttons
Deviniti Dynamic Forms for Jira - Dynamic Select
When multiple translations are created, the user will see the translation that matches their chosen Jira system language. If the language they use hasn’t been translated, the options will be displayed in the default language (which is displayed under the Option column).
Note
