Warning
titleJira 4.4.x only and from time to time

There is a known issue when installing this plugin via UPM: the database custom fields won't be displayed on the search screen of JIRA.

This is caused by a known JIRA bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-25284 and will probably be resolved in future JIRA releases.

So far the workaround to resolve this issue temporarily without restarting JIRA is to go to the Custom Field admin screen, click Edit for any of the custom fields provided by the plugin, then save the field without making any changes.

You can also use one of the two alternative methods for installing Database Custom field Installation via Kepler Installer or Manual Install.
