Custom Field in JQL in Cloud Version

[Stefan Reijgwart]

Hi,

I created a custom field "Theme" and added this to the Epic screen.

So this way I can type the Theme where the Epic is related to.

Now I want to create in Confluence an overview of all the Epic's related to that Theme. Meaning a list of epics that have the same value in the Theme field.

I am working in a Cloud environment

Please help

Hi @Stefan Reijgwart

You can solve this with the macro "JIRA Issue/Filter"

Hi, Yes I know but a basis JQL like "Theme" = "Performance" where Theme is the custom field and performance is content of the theme field within a epic does not work.

Hi @Stefan Reijgwart

Try creating your filter in JIRA and copy/paste it if it works. 

if it is a text field your query should be "Theme" ~ performance
if it is a dropdown it should be "Theme" = performance

If the query works in JIRA and not in Confluence, you need to check if both applications are linked together correctly

Hero!

~ does the job! but makes me also reconsider if I should use dropdown as Theme's won't change that much and it will rule out typo's

[Stefan Reijgwart]

Don't want to stretch it too much, but is it possible to also state for current project or something like that? without typing project = "xyz"

[Dave Bosman [Realdolmen]]

I would definitely not use a text field because you will get typo's. 

Dropdowns are a good solution. Or use components instead of dropdown 

To add a new item in the dropdown you would need a global admin everytime. 

Components can be added by the global and the project admin. 

[Dave Bosman [Realdolmen]]

you will always have to use project ="xyz"

[Stefan Reijgwart]

Ah thanks for the tip. Try to set up an environment for our project organization where creating a project environment has the least configuration :) 

Components you mean the default field Components function I guess? I will investigate if this will work for us.

Thanks!

[Dave Bosman [Realdolmen]]

Yes, it is the default field components what i was talking about.
