Fields displayed for Issue Links on the main issue page.

[Rickard Johansson [Tieto]]

Hello,

I have been looking around for a way to add a field or column to the set of fields/columns that are displayed for Issue links on the main Issue screen. By default only the Issue Key, Summary, Priority and Status (without text) is shown. We would like to also add fixVersions to the list.

This is not the same as the linked issue columns that can be set in the jira-application.properties file as that only seems to affect the dedicated linked issue screen rather then the main issue view.

Is there anyway of doing this, either via a property file, vm modification or other way?

This is primarily in regard to JIRA 4.1.2 but I am also interested in ways of doing this for later verisons as well as an upgrade to the system (most likely to 4.4.x) in the not to distant future.

Best Regards,

Rickard Johansson

I fiddled with ./includes/snippets/issuelinksmall.jsp to add icons to it in Jira 4.0, I think you need to look in the same place.

Thanks!

It helped me out a lot. Through the info i got from the jsp i managed to find another discussion with the acutal code needed to add the fixVersion column (see below) so now all thats left is the cosmetics :)

<webwork:property value="./fixVersions">
                    <jsp:include page="/includes/snippets/listbynamewithnavlink.jsp">
                        <jsp:param name="navfield" value="fixforversion"/>
                    </jsp:include>
        </webwork:property>

Thanks Again!

Best Regards,

Hi Rickard/Nic,

I added that to 6.4.7 by creating a snippets file issuelinksmall.jsp and got nothing.   Is there any documentation on this?  Did you place that code directly into listbynamewithnavlink.jsp?

Thanks,

Robert

Can you point me to the other converstation where you got the code snippet from please? Or prhaps might be able to tell me what property values and parameters I would have to add to the JSP for the issue status to be displayed for linked items? Thank you for your help.

In fact in the /opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/includes/snippets directory, I only have the following two files:

• listbynamewithnavlink.jsp
• listbyname.jsp

Will either of those impact the linking view on the issues page?

Hi Roxanna,

I was trying to do the same thing and from what I see it appears you need source code to change it.  That is why we only see those two jsp files, because we are not looking at the source code.  Here is an article that talks about it http://jira-developer.atlassian.narkive.com/P4sgQFDw/inserting-fix-versions-column-into-linked-issues-table
