If you are a first time user of Power Custom Fields Premium, feel free to skip this page.

Meet Power Custom Fields Premium

As part of our revised strategy, we have moved all custom field functionality into one Power Custom Fields app that is your ultimate go-to plugin. With this move, we will consolidate our offering and lay out the foundation for upcoming enhancements.

Notes for the User Group Picker PRO users

Fields defined by UGP PRO will continue to work the same as fields defined in Power Custom Fields Premium. No changes are expected or intended.

If you already have User Group Picker PRO and are installing Power Custom Fields Premium, consider the following precautionary measures:

  1. If you have a valid UGP PRO license, you are entitled to a PCF Premium license. Contact us, and we'll help migrate your license from UGP Pro to PCF Premium.

  2. All custom fields defined by UGP PRO will be migrated automatically along with their configuration. This step cannot be reversed easily, however you can contact support if you want to reverse it manually (you will need to run certain SQLs on your database). We must insist here, this is a step we highly do not recommend. 
    Migrating your UGP PRO license is the only correct thing to do, as new improvements and maintenance will only happen in PCF Premium from now on.

  3. Both UGP PRO and PCF Premium will continue to function in parallel, however we strongly recommend that you uninstall the UGP PRO at your earliest convenience because the migration task happens only once. 

  4. Do NOT create more custom fields via UGP PRO. You have all functionality in the PCF Premium edition.

  5. After installing PCF Premium and uninstalling UGP PRO we strongly recommend you to restart Jira and perform Jira re-index.

Troubleshooting

We have worked hard so that PCF Premium and UGP PRO work in parallel so it will allow you to switch the editions easily. However, if you encounter problems during your migration, here's a list of known issues.
