Jira Database Schema - Modifying a View

I want to modify the View "IssueChangelogs" to add a few fields from the "Issues" table.   Do we need to request a job to take care of this with Atlassian or can an Admin Role handle this.  

This is for that back end database.  I use CDATA JIRA ODBC driver and it works great but I would like to not have to link the "Issues" table if I can help it for performance reasons.

Thanks Help.

Hello @jriccardo 

Can you provide a screen image showing the "issueChangelogs" view that you are trying to change?

Are you saying you have already successfully connected to the Jira database?

Your post tags indicate you are using Jira Cloud. That is the software-as-a-service product. Atlassian does not allow connections directly to the database for that product.

If you have successfully connected to the Jira database then you must be using the self-hosted version of the product - Jira Server or Jira Data Center.

In Jira click on the question mark button near your avatar in the upper right corner. Then select the About option. Share with us the information you see there.

If you see a version number similar to "9.12.8" Then you are using Jira Server or Jira Data Center.

If you don't see a version number, then you are using Jira Cloud, and connections to the database are not allowed.

Hi @jriccardo 

No there are no options to change a DB views, this as you don't have access to the DB.

Atlassian will not change the DB setup for your instance as its a SaaS product and customisations per client are not honoured.

If not convinced you could reach out to Atlassian Support
