Show project lead per project in JIRA structure

I am visualizing our project portfolio in a JIRA structure.
Next to the project key I'd like to show in a separate column the name of the per project defined "project lead"... (the project lead which is set per project in JIRA).

To basically show who is the responsible person per project.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @rupert_schreder ,

This is going to depend if your Jira instance is hosted onprem or cloud.

IF it you are onprem hosted, you can use a formula column with the following as the formula:

project.lead

It makes use of the Property Reference for the Project item.

On cloud, this property is not available (yet).  

To check if you are onprem or cloud hosted:

If you see "Show Generators" at the top of your structure, you are on cloud

If you see "Automation" at the top, you are hosted onprem

Hope this helps!

Best,
David

clarification

project.lead will work if you are looking for the project lead at the issue level.

this.lead will work if you are looking for the lead at the (group by) project level

@rupert_schreder 

Project Lead is not a custom field as such. 

If you need to display the project lead in the columns of jira structure then you need to copy the value of project lead into the some other user picker or text field ( create separate field if its not present) and then add that custom field on jira structure column

Thanks for feedback, no other possibility? I mean I do not talk about a custom field on issue level, this has to work on project level.

But in jira structure you are displaying issue hierarchy and in the columns you are displaying custom fields  related with issues.
