Global level custom fields are customizable fields that can be used across all projects in Zephyr for JIRA.

Custom field types

• Checkboxes: field that allows users to choose multiple values using checkboxes
• Date Picker: field that stores dates and allows the user to use a date picker to view them.
• Date Time Picker: field that stores dates with a time component attached to the date.
• Number Field: field that stores and validates numerical inputs (floating points).
• Radio Buttons: field that displays a list of radio buttons and only allows the user to select one of the options.
• Select List (multiple choices): field that stores multiple values in a select list view and the user is able to select one or multiple choices from the list.
• Select List (single choices): field that stores multiple values in a select list view and the user is able to select one choice from the list. This is a drop-drop list.
• Text Field (multi-line): field that allows inputs for longer text strings in a multi-line text box.
• Text Field (single line): field that allows simple text input in a single line text box.

Custom field ‘Fields’

• After selecting the custom field type, users must provide a name for the custom field.
• The name for the custom field is essentially the column header for the custom field.
• The name of the custom field can also be search in test execution search using ZQL.
• The keyword when searching for a defined custom field is ZCF

For example:

If you have a custom checkbox with the header called “Custom Status” and one of the options is “Finished?” and you want to search for test executions that are “Finished?”, use the following:

Custom Status = “Finished?”

When viewing custom fields for test executions and test steps. Use the “Column” button to display the custom field in the corresponding tables.
