    Description

    Exciting news: The Jira Field Helper has been absorbed into the Jira Admin Helper!  The Jira Admin Helper goes beyond just fields, into permissions and notifications.

    Check out the Jira Admin Helper

    Wondering why your field isn't showing up on the View Issue screen, Edit Issue screen or Create Issue screen?

    The Jira Field Helper shows Jira Admins exactly why a field isn't appearing on the screen and gives you explicit instructions on how to make it appear. It looks at the field's status for combination of the current project, issue type and screen that you are viewing.

    The Jira Field Helper works with Jira system fields and custom field types, and detects all the reasons why your field is not appearing on a specific screen:

    • Is the field on the screen you're viewing?
    • Is the field hidden in the field configuration?
    • Does the field have the correct issue/project context?
    • Does the field have a value?

    For special system fields, the Jira Field Helper can pinpoint field specific problems, like:

    • Issue Links are not showing up because Issue Linking is turned off, or there are no links for this issue.
    • Specific permissions, like assignee permission, resolve issue permission, etc which affect whether a user can edit a field.

    The Jira Field Helper plugin is a great tool for all Admins - and is only visible to Jira Administrators.
