Text Field (read only) can they be imported into EazyBI?

[Dave Marsico]

Hi I'm trying understand if there is a way to import Read-only Text Fields into EazyBI,  not seeing them show up in the List of custom fields to select.

Hi Dave

eazyBI offers default import options based on a detected custom field type. We can access an import custom fields if they are represented in Jira REST API.

You could define the custom field definition by adding additional options how to import the custom field. 

Here is a custom field definition example, that overrides default setup:

   [jira.customfield_NNNNN] 
   data_type = "string" 
   dimension = true

Please use the Jira custom field ID instead of NNNNN in the definition above.

Please add the updated custom field definition to eazyBI advanced settings or ask JIRA administrator to do this for you, as only JIRA administrators, has access to eazyBI advanced settings. 

Open import options for edit after changes in advanced settings and select the custom field for import as dimension and property and run an import.
