Problem

It seems that a field (e.g. the Reporter) won't show up for several users.

Field Reporter visible for user A

Field Reporter not visible for user B

Solution

Jira defines the create issue screen based on the permission of the user. We take this screen map it to the fields, you have defined within the "Issue Form - create form" macro and we remove the fields not visible on the create issue screen.

You can:

  • ignore this behavior
  • grant User B (within Jira) the permission to edit the field
    • If it is the Reporter field, the Jira administrator must adjust the "Modify Reporter" permissions for the project permissions so that the page visitors can execute them.
  • remove the field from the "Issue Form - create form"


Problem

A previously visible field won't show up anymore.

Field for a user with view page permission

Field for a user with edit page permission

Solution

The create issue screen has been changed by your Jira administrator.

You can:

  • contact your Jira administrator, tell her/him the field name/id shown in the warning message and request a change of the create issue screen
    • If it is the Reporter field, the Jira administrator may need to customize the following. Adjust the "Modify Reporter" permissions for the project permissions so that the page visitors can execute them.
  • remove the field from "Issue Form – create form"

Problem

A field won't show up on the page and a "- Unsupported Field" message appears instead 

Solution

We have to reimplement every field type to make it usable within Confluence and we provide a List of supported Custom Fields and Custom Field Types.

Feel free to contact us if a field is missing in the list.

You can:

  • contact your Jira administrator, tell her/him the field name/id shown in the warning message and request a change of the create issue screen


  • No labels
