"Days since last comment" field type not visible in issue (work item) view

[Gary Spross]

I created a custom field using the "Days since last comment" field type.

Before even applying it to any screens, I noticed that it's populated for all work items within the instance (which is great!). I then attempted to apply it to the view screen for a particular issue type and it doesn't appear. It seems like the only way to view the value present within this field is via an issue search. Is there something I'm missing or is this field type special and can't be applied to screens?

Hi @Gary Spross 

My understanding about that special, custom field type is it only displays in the work item (formerly called "issue") search results, but not on any other view types.  That is likely because it is dynamically populated from the change history.

Here are the suggestions to allow adding it to Jira and Confluence views:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-93285
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-74871

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill!

Maybe if I was a better "Googler", I would've come across that Jira suggestion ticket...
