How to create "issueFunction" custom field(JQL Functions Customfield Type) in jira??

[Raju Anumula]

Hi Team,

Unfortunately, I deleted the issueFunction custom field in Jira, after deleting when I search query(project = "abc" AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("") AND status not in (Resolved)) in search issues I will get error "Field 'issueFunction' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it". same query working in the stage. I strongly believe this error because of issueFunction delete. 

Is there any way to revert back?? or How to create issueFunction Custome field ??

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Raju Anumula.

You can try to disable and enable the ScriptRunner plugin and see if the field is created. But try it first on a staging environement.

Hi Alexey,

In stage, there is no problem and issueFuncton custom field Available. In production, Unfortunately, the issueFuncton custom field is deleted so that's way I am getting an error?

You should delete the field in the staging environement and try to return it back. Or you can make another stagin environement. Just you can not do such kind of things in production without testing.

Yes, ScriptRunner hangs a good chunk of code off that field, so you do need it.

You should add a replacement field of that type, make it global, and re-index the whole system (background index will do, you don't need the locking one)

Hi @Raju Anumula,

I agree with @Alexey Matveev, I once ran into this issue and disabling/re-enabling ScriptRunner did the trick.

What ScriptRunner version are you running though? IssueFunction should now be locked so you shouldn't be able to delete it: Lock the issueFunction custom field.
