The Configuration Wizard is the simplest way to get your field going. It consists of a five-step process at the end of which the newly created field should be configured and ready to be used in Jira.

Step 1 -

Choosing the

field type

Depending on how you intend to use it, the Advanced Row Field can be either read-only or editable.

The read-only field supports basic selection of values and it has a single, but important, constraint: its configuration will require requires exactly two columns, one of which acts as a primary key.

Depending on how the values need to be displayed or the number of values that need to be selected, it comes in three flavors:

• Single select - a select that this allows just one selection from the list of values that is displayed entirely;,

• Multi select - a select that this allows multiple values to be selected;,

• Autocomplete - a single select that this uses autocomplete to filter the displayed options to display.

The editable field allows an extended list of configuration options and the ability to use more columns and configure extra scripts, making it the most complex of the pack.

Step 2 -

If the originating original table already has a column marked as primary key column, it will be recognized as such here as wellthe Advanced Row Field automatically uses it.

For an editable Advanced Row Field, there is no limit for the number of selected columns, as the layout of this field allows the display of numerous columnsyou can select as many columns as needed. The field layout is designed to display numerous columns, providing flexibility in your choices.

Step 5 -
