This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.
Description
The Location Text custom field allows you to specify the address in free-form text when creating/editing an issue. The location will be shown as an inline Google Map in the issue.
Configuration
Configuring the Location Text custom field is the same as configuring any other Jira custom field. For information on how to configure a custom field in Jira, see Jira's Adding a Custom Field article.
This configuration is only necessary if you use any Custom Fields from JSU.
Insert a Google Maps API key
Create a valid Google Maps API. For more information see Google's documentation for the Google Maps platform.
Enable GeoCoding API from APIs & Services after generating the API Key. From Google Console, select ACTIVATE APIS AND SERVICES > GEOLOCATION API > Activate.
In the top navigation bar in Jira, select the Administration cog icon then select Manage Apps.
Under JSU, select Maps Configuration.
Enter your valid Google Maps API in the dedicated field then select Save.
Configure one of JSU's Custom Fields then check that everything is working properly.
As of June 22, 2016, Google Maps API no longer supports keyless access (any request that doesn't include an API key).
