Overview of Power Custom Fields

Power Custom Fields (PCF) extends Jira's custom field functionality through configurable, dynamic fields. It can integrate data from multiple external sources and uses SIL scripting for field calculations.

PCF supports multiple field formats:

• Checkbox

• Single and Multi-select

• Single and Multiple autocomplete

• Radio buttons

• Interval

• Regular expression-based fields

• SIL script-based fields

You can extend field functionality by combining select-type fields (such as Checkbox and Radio buttons) with pre-defined display templates to create custom configurations that meet your specific needs.

Pre-defined templates for Power Custom Fields

For example, you can configure a PCF Single Select field to use the User Picker template. This way Jira users can select options dynamically based on criteria defined in your SIL script.

Suppose you want to create a field that shows only team leads from active projects. You can do this by creating the following custom field configuration:

1. You add a custom field of the PCF - Single Autocomplete type.

2. You select the User Picker template for the field data settings.

3. As a data source, you add a SIL script that filters users with the team lead role from active projects.

When users interact with this field, they get an autocomplete interface showing only team leads. This makes it easier to select the correct person while enforcing data accuracy by limiting choices to valid options.

Similarly, a Multiple Autocomplete field can be set up with the Project Picker to enable filtered selection of multiple projects.
