JIRA Custom Fields Support

...

 
1. You define the list of custom fields that belong to the project that you would like to see in the Zephyr UI:
 
DTS.CUSTOMFIELD.BA.LIST=customfield_10000,customfield_10018
The DTS.CUSTOMFIELD.BA.LIST property should be defined for all the projects in Zephyr that you would like to have custom field support for JIRA. You can have as many of this properties as you need as long as you change the "BA" part of it to reflect the projects that you want.
 
The "BA" part of the property defines the project "Key" which each project has a unique value for in JIRA, the customfield_xxxxx list separated by commas are the internal names of the custom fields that are in JIRA.
 
2. You find the IDs of those JIRA custom fields:
 
To get the internal custom field IDs of JIRA custom fields that you want to expose in Zephyr:
 1. Login to JIRA
 2. Launch a "Create Issue" page
 3. "View source" of the "Create Issue" page
 4. Search every custom field name to get the custom field IDs.  You can also use the keyword "customfield_" and navigate through all matches.
 
3. Then you define the custom field types and their values:
 
 Some of the custom field property elements are:
 TYPE= 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 : To indicate which supported field this is for in Zephyr
 MANDATORY= true or false: To indicate whether this field is mandatory or not
 MAXLENGTH=nnn: (not all supported types have this property) To indicate the length of the field
 LOV=!: (only supported by Select List) To indicate the List of Values to show for the field
 
These are the other custom field types with workarounds (and will be displayed as Text Field in Zephyr).
 
 1. Multi Checkboxes
 2. Multi Select
 3. Radio Button
 4. User Picker
 5. Multi User Picker
 6. Single Version Picker
 
 Single Version Picker can probably be implemented as a Select List.
 
 Multiple values should be separated using the declared DTS.MULTIVALUE.FIELDSEPARATOR for these custom fields type that accepts multiple values.
