TestFLO - Enhanced Issue Picker CF

The Enhanced Issue Picker is an advanced custom field that can be used to build a complex structure of issues dependencies. In TestFLO it is used to connect (link) test issues with requirements. The connection is set by choosing the appropriate requirement key in the Requirement field (TestFLO - Enhanced Issue Picker CF) on test issues. Linking is related to:

  • Test Case Templates,
  • Test Cases,
  • Test Plans,
  • Defects,
  • and/or requirements (creating multi level structure).
Note

You can use the TestFLO - Enhanced Issue Picker CF for any purpose, not just to link requirements. You can add this field like other custom fields in Jira Administration.

You can configure this field using the following options:

Issues type & project restrictions

This option allows to define restrictions for linked issues based on the project and issue type. After choosing the restrictions, when you select the key of the issue from a different project or different type than the one you define in this option, a validation message will be displayed after confirming the selection. Click Edit Issues type & project restrictions to add your own restrictions.

Warning

Selected project and issue type(s) pairs in the Requirements tab module are automatically created as restrictions of the Requirement custom field. Any manual changes to this option may cause a malfunction in the restrictions. We do not recommend this action.

Statuses

It is possible to restrict linking the issue by its status. For example, on Test Plan, you may not want to select requirements that are already Closed. When you choose an issue with a different status than the defined in this option, a validation message will be displayed after confirming the selection. Click Edit Statuses to select appropriate statuses from the list.

Columns layout
