We use a text field custom field (<255 charachters) to store the names of our customers. I would like to use this names to display the number of open isses per customer within a issue statistics gadget, but the gadget doesn't allow me to choose these field as "statistic type".

Is there a way to enable this text field to be used within the issue statistic gadget? Or another plugin which provide this functionality?

Thanks

Henning

BTW, my solution doesn't work for 5.2 anymore - reworked interfaces by Atlassian.

I hope, I will have longer look at it next week.

For JIRA 6.1 and later , you can use Stattable Searchers

As far as I know, the field has to implement CustomFieldStattable in order to be chosen for a stat.

I think your easiest option would be to convert your text field to a select list, which does implement that. Is that a possibility for you?

It's a textfield filled by a script runner listener from an external datasource... I think this will be a bigger project. Select data, test for existing option, create new option if needed, set option I think. Is the calculated field from script runner a statable one?

Henning, you should check out Josef's plugin. Just install, change the searcher for your scripted field(s), reindex, and viola. Worked a treat.

Ok. This plugin provides the text custom field that can be used for pie charts.

The marketplace page talks about a "single select list", not a text field. And there is no additional documentation about the plugin.

BTW, the link doesn't work, the dot at the end should not be part of it.

Thanks,

Henning

This is single select based on text field that maybe filled by project administrator from separate administration page.

I miss that I didn't update version. Now we have text field that can be used for pie charts

Andrey Markelov November 20, 2012

There is field Statistical Text Field. It is available in https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.mail.plugins.mailselect for Jira 4.3-5.2.
