Adding System Fields to Plans

[Kelly Hawke]

Adding custom fields to the Plan's Field section to display the value in a column works great. I have a user asking for a system field, like Resolved Date to be added so they can review it on the plan in a column. Can this be done, and if so, how? 

How do you add other System fields to Plans?

Hi @Kelly Hawke ,

Not sure if you solved this, but in case it's still a mystery, try this out:

Access Plan Settings:

• Open your plan in Advanced Roadmaps.
• Click on the plan name to reveal a dropdown menu.
• Select Configure.

Add Custom Fields:

• In the configuration menu, choose Custom fields.
• Click on Add custom field.
• Search for the desired system field, such as "Resolved Date."
• Select the field and click Add.

Display the Field in Your Plan:

• Return to your plan's main view.
• Click on the Fields dropdown above the timeline.
• Locate and select the newly added field to display it as a column in your plan.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!!!  However, Resolved Date is not a custom field.  It's a System field and is not available for selection under Add custom field.

Hi @Kelly Hawke

I feel it should be relatively simple to add the resolution date to the list of supported fields, so I'd definitely raise this with Atlassian.

As a (very hacky) workaround, you could use e.g. Jira Automation to write/copy the resolution date into a custom field, and then add the custom field. I wouldn't really recommend this, though.

Lastly, just to put it out there: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Plus, it supports all issue fields, of course including the resolution date.

This is how it looks in action:

Wether this would be useful to you or not obviously depends on your exact use case, and I very much acknowledge that you're original problem, in itself, may not justify additional tooling for you - but there's a lot of awesome features in JXL, and it might be worth a look.

Best,

Hannes

Thanks Hannes.  I agree, this should be doable within the tool.

I'll have a look at the additional options you mentioned!!!  thanks.
