Feature Release 5.0 - JMCF for Jira Cloud
Our team is thrilled to announce the latest release of JMCF for Jira Cloud 5.0. This release includes formatters for JMCF custom fields, a new scripted field type, and new API access to field and issue history!
Custom Fields
Formatters for custom fields
It is now possible to control the display format of your custom fields! With Formatters, you can set various properties of your custom field values, including background and font colors, font size, and capitalization. Additionally, you can add prefixes and suffixes, and control display formats for date and datetime fields! See Formatters for more information.
New scripted field type - date field
The custom field type Scripted Field has been expanded to include a new output type - date. Similar to the scripted datetime type, this calculates only a date.
New API access to change history
The JMCF APIs have been expanded to include access to changelog data through the Scripted Field custom field. Two new endpoints are available - getFieldHistory and getIssueHistory. See their respective pages for more information:
Administration
Script editor updates
The script editors used throughout JMCF configuration pages have been updated to better use the available screen space. Editing longer scripts should now be more accessible.
Bug Fixes
Performance fixes for large instances
JMCF Cloud instances with a large number of custom fields are experiencing performance issues when enabling or disabling custom fields. This release makes significant improvements to performance.
Numeric custom fields don’t display decimals
In some circumstances, custom number fields are not displaying their decimal values in Jira. This has been resolved.
Scripted String Collection fields do not display values in Jira
In some configurations, Scripted fields that return a collection of strings are not displaying values in Jira. This has been fixed.
Disabling a custom field during recalculation
Disabling a custom field while the field is recalculating causes the Calculations value to get stuck at ‘0%’ even though the recalculation has stopped. This has been fixed.
Search results on the Administration page incorrectly sorting by Calculation
When sorting the My custom fields list by the Calculation column, using the Search feature causes the sorting to break. This has been resolved.
Updated names for custom fields are not reflected on the ‘Calculations’ page
After updating the name of a custom field, the Calculations page would sometimes fail to update the name. This has been resolved.
‘Post migration’ page date filters not working correctly
The TO date filter on the Post migration page was not filtering migrations correctly. This has been resolved.
The ‘My custom fields’ page is blank when using the Safari browser
This has been resolved.
