Supported Jira Fields
- Scott Dudley
Overview
Support for different Jira field types varies with the Dataplane report being used.
For example, historical reports support a different set of fields than current reports, since not all Jira fields are indexed historically. In addition, only numeric-type fields can be used where Dataplane requires a numeric field, and only date-type fields can be used when plotting issues on a timeline.
The tables on this page indicate the extent of support for different Jira field types within Dataplane. Here is a key to the table columns:
| Available Use | Description |
|---|---|
| Value Of/Segment By (Current Reports) | fields marked with  can be used for the Segment By or Value Of options in current value reports (non-historical reports) |
| Value Of/Segment By (Historical Reports) | fields marked with can be used for the Segment By or Value Of options in historical (date-based) reports |

Add-On Custom Fields
Dataplane directly supports custom fields provided by the popular Adaptavist ScriptRunner and Valiantys nFeed add-ons.
For more details on how to work with ScriptRunner and nFeed fields, see:
Dataplane also supports all third-party add-on custom fields that Atlassian defines as "stattable"—those which support the standard Jira CustomFieldStattable interface. Most of the standard Jira Core dashboard gadgets support only stattable fields, so if a third-party custom field is available in one of the standard Jira dashboard gadgets, it will generally be available in Dataplane as well. When in doubt, ask your add-on vendor if the desired custom field is "stattable", or contact Arsenale for help.
As a backup option, there is a third-party add-on called Stattable Searchers which can make certain non-stattable, third-party custom fields appear as stattable to Jira Core dashboard gadgets and to Dataplane.
The following third-party add-on custom field types marked with are supported by Dataplane:
Available Use
Custom Field Type | Value Of/ | Value Of/ Segment By (Historical Reports) | Value Of | Date Basis | Columns (Issues Table Report) | Columns/ Segment By (Work Log Reports) |
