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.
