Is it possible to append text to field value when displayed on card?

[Pete P]

Is it possible to append text to field value when displayed on card?  I have a custom field of the single issue picker type.  I would like to add some text after the field value when it is displayed on the card.  Is this do-able?  I could also optionally add it during a post function if that is even possible on that field type.

Hi @Pete P 

As far as I understand, you need to append some text to the custom field's value on the board view. If that's the case, you can't do that unless you implement your own custom field and code its relevant views (front-end).

I could not get the point of how you want to add during a post-function though.

@Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ , thank you.  What I meant during post function was something like

customField.value = customField.value & ": Extra text"

I don't know if that is do-able on the custom field of the single issue type however

Yes, definitely you can do that. I mean, you can use an app to update a custom field value in a transition's post function. However, that would not be only specific to board view, but also issue main view as well as report exporting options (xls, csv).

Thanks I will give it a try!
