Installing directly from the Atlassian Marketplace

If you are connected to the Atlassian Marketplace website from your JIRA administration console, you can install our apps directly from the Marketplace. For more information, see Installing add-ons and Universal Plugin Manager pages.

1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
2. In the cog wheel menu, go to Add-ons.
3. In the search field of the Find new add-ons section, search for Power Custom Fields™ Premium.

For more information, see Atlassian documentation on installing apps.
This installation method is the quickest way. You can also install by file upload, as described in the next section.

Installing by file upload

1. Download the Power Custom Fields Premium file from the Atlassian Marketplace.
2. Log into your Jira as Admin.
3. Go to Administration > Add-ons > Manage add-ons.
4. Click Upload add-on and select the file you downloaded, and click Upload.
5. (Optional, but highly recommended) Enable logging on our modules. 
   To do that, 

   1. Open the Jira log4j configuration file: JIRA_INSTALL_DIR/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties with a text editor of your choice and add the following lines at the end of it.

      log4j.logger.com.keplerrominfo=INFO, filelog
log4j.additivity.com.keplerrominfo=false
   2. Restart Jira.

Installation Notes

Power Custom Fields™ Premium consists of the app itself and one dependency – SIL Engine™ – a library with utility routines and the SIL language parser.

SIL Engine™ is shared across our power portfolio products. If you disable it, the functionality built on top of it will stop working. SIL Engine™ is published on the Atlassian Marketplace, and we recommend that you install updates compatible with this app as soon as they appear.

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

1. Uninstall Power Custom Fields™Fields™ Premium.
2. Uninstall SIL Engine™.
3. Install the version of Power Custom Fields™ that is compatible with your Jira version. Ensure that you use the OBR file you downloaded or use directly the UPM search and install feature (recommended).

4. SIL Engine™ should now have the right versions as well.

5. Check any dependent apps, such as Power Scripts™ for Jira or Power Actions for Jira, etc. Note that these apps must be re-enabled manually.
