Is it possible to use a Text field as statistic type within the JIRA Issue Statistic gadget?

[Henning Tietgens]

We use a text field custom field (<255 charachters) to store the names of our customers. I would like to use this names to display the number of open isses per customer within a issue statistics gadget, but the gadget doesn't allow me to choose these field as "statistic type".

Is there a way to enable this text field to be used within the issue statistic gadget? Or another plugin which provide this functionality?

Thanks

Henning

Yes, it is possible using custom exact searcher from plugin JIRA Natural Searchers. Also script field is stattable using this searchers.

BTW, my solution doesn't work for 5.2 anymore - reworked interfaces by Atlassian.

I hope, I will have longer look at it next week.

late update :

Natural Searchers is available for JIRA 5.2 up to 6.0.8

For JIRA 6.1 and later , you can use Stattable Searchers

As far as I know, the field has to implement CustomFieldStattable in order to be chosen for a stat.

I think your easiest option would be to convert your text field to a select list, which does implement that. Is that a possibility for you?

[Henning Tietgens]

It's a textfield filled by a script runner listener from an external datasource... I think this will be a bigger project. Select data, test for existing option, create new option if needed, set option I think. Is the calculated field from script runner a statable one?

[JamieA]

No, see https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+Fields?focusedCommentId=67797186#comment-67797186.

Henning, you should check out Josef's plugin. Just install, change the searcher for your scripted field(s), reindex, and viola. Worked a treat.

Hi, you can use https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.mail.plugins.mailselect. Try this, I believe you will be happy.

Ok. This plugin provides the text custom field that can be used for pie charts.

[Henning Tietgens]

I'm sorry, but this doesn't work for us.

[Henning Tietgens]

The marketplace page talks about a "single select list", not a text field. And there is no additional documentation about the plugin.

BTW, the link doesn't work, the dot at the end should not be part of it.

Thanks,

Henning

This is single select based on text field that maybe filled by project administrator from separate administration page.

I miss that I didn't update version. Now we have text field that can be used for pie charts

[Andrey Markelov]

There is field Statistical Text Field. It is available in https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.mail.plugins.mailselect for Jira 4.3-5.2.

[Henning Tietgens]

Ok, I think I'll evaluate your plugin.
