  • Power Custom Fields PRO™ 2.0 is compatible with Jira 7.X only, JDK version should be at level 8.
  • Power Custom Fields PRO™ 2.0 bundles the Warden and SIL™ Engine apps. It is upward compatible meaning it works with any Warden version 4.0 and up and with any SIL™ Engine version 4.0 and up. For more information, see Installing Power Custom Fields PRO™ section.

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 PRO™.

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 PRO™ 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, 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 PRO™ packages together the following Jira apps:

  1. Warden app — responsible for licensing of our products
  2. SIL™ Engine — library with utility routines and the SIL™ language parser
  3. Power Custom Fields PRO™ app — contains the necessary functionality

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

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

  1. Uninstall Power Custom Fields PRO™.
  2. Uninstall Warden app.
  3. Uninstall SIL™ Engine 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. SIL™ Engine 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.
