Modification of layout

[edern]

Hi, I would like to modify the layout when you "view" an issue. I created a screen and associated it to "create issue", "edit issue" and "view issue". It is correctly taken into account for the create issue as follows (pre-conditions is at the top). See attached "configure screen" and "createissue" pngs.

But for the view of the issue, order is not applied correctly (see attached "viewissue.png")

screen are nevertheless the same in the config (see attached "configurescreen.png").

So I don't get what I do wrong.

Thanks in advance for the help

?The view screen looks correct to me.  I think what you're missing is that the view screen has fields deliberately grouped together by purpose and type of data.

The way I usually try to explain how it relates to the "view" screen you define is that Jira takes the full list of fields you've put on it, and pulls out the system fields into the details panel, dates into the date area, users and groups into the people panel, and so-on.

Once it has extracted all the fields from your list, the remains go into the custom field area.

Thanks for the quick (and understandable!) reply.

So is there any way to modify (at least re-order) the layout of the view. Actually the only thing I would like to do is to put "pre-conditions" panel between "decsription" and "test details"

No, you'd need to hack the layout code in the core of Jira

Ok, too bad... Thanks anyway!
