Whether you have a specific need to solve or want to explore the wider possibilities of JMCF, our use cases will help get you started. Included below are examples of our more common use cases with scenarios and step-by-step instructions. You can use JMCF to create custom fields, and use those fields in reports and dashboards to bring expanded functionality to your Jira instance.

To follow the use cases below, you will need Jira administrator permissions. It is expected that you know how to create and edit custom fields in Jira. If you aren’t familiar with creating custom fields, see Atlassian’s documentation for Jira Cloud Administrators. We recommend that you try out your rules in a test environment before publishing changes to live projects.

To help ensure that your JMCF custom fields work the way you and your team expect, build your custom fields in a test project first, with user permissions that represent the different roles within your team and a set of example issues with which to view each custom field results.
