Description
JIRA has a variety of custom field types and add-ons can provide new ones. Some of these custom field types cannot be fully supported without specific logic. This is complicated by this JIRA bug - JRA-45371.
Unsupported fields
Please open an issue if you need support for custom field type that is not currently supported for your needs. In many cases the field will be supported automatically but there may be some capabilities not supported for more specialized fields. We test various scenarios with the list provided here. Limitations will be noted.
To make it easier to describe the field you want supported accurately, run something like the following and copy the section (statrs with Id . .) that describes the field into the description field of the issue you are opening:
-a getFieldValue --issue XXX-1 --field "my custom field" --debug
