Display Custom Fields on JIRA View Screen

Display Custom Fields on JIRA View Screen and Roll-up to Parent Task

OK, this one is an easy solution that has gotten a lot of traction as of late...

I am using this to basically provide a check list for a process with a 2 stage workflow (very Simple workflow).

I am using a JJupin SIL script in a workflow post function.

• To define custom field by name: #{my_Custom_field_name}
• for a select list custom field put the value required like so: "my_value"
• Have a look at the sample script below, it should make sense!

Here is a sample script.  Basically what we are doing is inputting a value into the custom fields.  The true magic is that we are only adding these values on a post-function transition, therefore making a dynamic form (only showing the fields when needed on the view screen).  

**Users can always go in and edit the form to access these fields however most end users don't seem to bother with that.

#{My_text_field} = "-";

#{Select_List_Country} = "Canada";

#{Select_List_Language} = "English";

#{Adding new symbol?} = "Please Select";

#{Dynamic_Form_without_expensive_Plugin?} = "Yes_Please!";

#{Text_New Software to be installed?} = "-";

You can add as many fields to this as you would like and have an editable 'View" screen.

I am currently using this in a subtask that is sharing the same screen as the parent.  This allows me to display the relevant questions/information in the subtask, then  bundle them up to the parent with the following SIL script:

 parent.#{Select_List_Country} = #{Select_List_Country};

Now this is where it turns into Wizardry!!! 

We can now make a Dashboard with Traffic Lights indicating process status, while displaying subtask information.  This allows us to target the process stages with only relevant info and reduce the noise associated with most processes.
