If you added a JMCF custom field through the native Jira custom fields screen, see Edit a custom field, below.

Follow the steps above to add a custom field to your Jira instance, then follow these steps:

  1. In Associate Screens step of the wizard, check the boxes for the screens to which the field should be added.

    1. Use the search field above the list of screens to locate a specific screen.

    2. Check the box at the top of the column to add the field to all screens.
      Note: some team management screens in Jira do not currently support custom fields!

  2. Click Next.

  3. Set the status value or values for both Transition From Status and To Status. When an issue is set to one of the status value(s) selected, it trigger an update of the Transitioned by User field.

  4. Click Save.

Note: The *ANY value for Transition From Status and/or To Status can have unintended consequences if not used correctly:

  • Setting both fields to *ANY will track any change in status for the issue.

  • Setting Transition From Status to *ANY will will track any transition into the status value(s) set in To Status no matter the starting status value.

  • Setting To Status to *ANY will will track any transition from the status value(s) set in Transition From Status no matter the starting status value.
