Steps to install

  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 PRO".
  4. Click Buy now or Free trial.

Installing by file upload

Installation Notes

Power Custom Fields PRO packages together the following Jira apps:

  1. Warden app — responsible for licensing of our products. This app is not published on the Atlassian Marketplace, however is it bundled with all our paid apps
  2. KATL-Commons — provides all SIL functionalities and common services built over Jira
  3. Power Custom Fields PRO app — contains the necessary functionality on the select lists

KATL-Commons and Warden are shared across our line of products. If you disable any of those, the functionality built on top of it / them will stop working. 

Unlike Warden, KATL-Commons is published on Atlassian Marketplace and updates that are compatible for this app should be installed as soon as they appear, since they contain bug fixes and enhancements.

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

  1. Uninstall Power Custom Fields PRO.
  2. Uninstall Warden app.
  3. Uninstall KATL-Commons app.
  4. Install the version of Power Custom Fields PRO 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).

  5. KATL-Commons and Warden should now have the right versions as well.

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