Adding Power Actions custom fields

Adding a new Power Actions™ Custom Field is as easy as adding any other custom field.

To do that:

  1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  2. Go to Administration > Custom Fields > Add Custom Field, and select Power Actions™ Custom Field from the list.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Adding Actions

After you have added the custom field, it's time to add some actions.

  1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  2. Go to Administration > Custom Fields.
  3. Select Configure for the Power Action™ custom field.



  4. To manage the actions for a given context, click the Edit Buttons link from the configuration screen.



  5. A screen similar to other option-based custom fields appears. 
    Here you can add new actions, delete existing actions and reorder them to suit your needs.



What's next

Once you've added an action, it's time to edit the scripts behind it by clicking one of the links available for each one.
See the following pages for detailed instructions on each script.
