This article contains a workaround to fetch insight object key values on the report. It can be done by an automation rule that copies the insight custom field values into a text-type custom field. These values can then be fetched into the report.

...

  1. Create a text field of type Readread-only, Single textsingle line, or Multimulti-line text. In this case, Text Field(multi-line) is considered.

  2. Skip this step in case it's already done: Assuming the Assets objects type custom fields are configured and available in Jira issues.


  3. Create an automation rule to set the Assets objects custom field values to text fields, publish, and enable the rule.


  4. Now, create/edit an issue to update the field values of Assets objects type fields to observe the values are updated in the Text Field type fieldstest if the automation executed successfully. Note that only the key values in the object are retrieved.


  5. Navigate to the Reports and Timesheets app to create a report or modify the existing report to include the Text Field type fields in the Fields section. Run the report to see the key values as shown below:
