Dashboard widget to show multiple choice fields

[Hiti Verma]

In JIRA, I created one checkbox field. I want to use this field in the JIRA dashboard to show which issues have multiple values. For example. Issue one has one option , issue two has 3 options etc. Is this possible?

Hi @Hiti Verma

If you are still looking for a solution, our app Dynamic Custom Fields for Jira can probably help you display that information on a dashboard.

With the app, you can create custom fields that get automatically filled based on a Jira expression.

To have the number of selected options calculated, you first need to find the custom field ID of your checkbox field. There are multiple ways to do that, documented here.

Then you can use the following Jira expression to create a Dynamic Custom Field with the number of selected values: (Replace XXXXX with your respective custom field ID)

issue.customfield_XXXXX.length

 Let me know if this would work for you! Jira expressions are quite flexible, but might need a bit of tuning to catch all edge cases.

Hello @Hiti Verma 

Jira does not have a native gadget that tells you how many checkboxes in a checkbox field have been checked. You could possibly figure that out with an Automation Rule, store that value in another field, and then display that other field's value in a dashboard gadget.
