Find customfields from old / uninstalled plugins

[Tobias Vollmer]

We have more than 50 customfields in our Installation (v7.0.10). As we would like to merge two JIRA installations together, we would like to clean up unneeded customfields.

As I understand, a plugin can create own customfields on installation. And I had issues before that new customfields were created on upgrading of the plugins, without deleting the old ones.

Does anyone know how to:

• find which customfields were created by a plugin installation (and which installation)?
• find out which of these are not needed by the plugin anymore?

Additionally: Are customfields needed by a plugin protected from deletion?

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi Chris, I am using JIRA 6.3.1 and I am looking into the Integrity Checker, and don't see an option to clean up unused custom fields. What may I be missing?

thanks

Thanks John for the reminder of the Version... We are using v7.0.10 and I do not see this either. I started the Check to see if something comes up in the results.

Have you tried running the integrity checks? I could be wrong but I thought one of the functions of this was to clean up unused custom fields left around by plugins.
