Custom fields template scripts are scripts that directly affect the value, appearance, configuration, or behavior of a custom field. With Power Scripts, there isn’t a concept of a custom field specific script/trigger, instead the scripts in this category are actually types like, post-functionsactions, listeners, and Live Fields scripts. These different script types accomplish the goal of updating and controlling the custom field types that are natively found in Jira. However, if you have advanced and complex problems that can’t be solved using standard Jira fields, Power Custom Fields introduces new custom field types that are directly controlled by SIL scripts. The templates will create the custom field script by adding the script to the configuration that corresponds to the individual script. |
NOTE: Because the custom field scripts are a collection of other script types there isn’t a standard way to configure and test the template scripts. See each template definition for details regarding configuration and testing.
