We explain here the steps that a Jira administrator needs to take to add make the fields available in Jira.

Enabling R4J custom fields in Jira

The procedure for a Jira Administrator to create and add R4J fields in Jira is exactly the same as the procedure for any other custom fields:

  • A custom field of the desired type must first be created.

  • The custom field must then be added to the Field Configurations that are used by R4J enabled projects.

For further information, see Configuring Fields.

We recommend that you add the fields to the field blacklist to avoid unwanted information in the revision history.
