    During the creation Phase of the Issue Picker, the following parameters should be completed:

    Parameter

    Description

    Parameter

    Syntax

    Description

    Name

    Text
    Mandatory

    Provide a name for your issue picker.
    Note: While you can't modify this when editing an existing Issue Picker, it can be adjusted via the Jira interface for custom fields.

    Description

    Text
    Optional

    Input a description for your custom field. Remember: This isn't editable when tweaking an existing Issue Picker but can be modified in the Jira custom fields interface.

    Multi-Select

    Checkbox

    Default: No

    Toggle the Issue Picker Field between multi-select and single-select modes.

    Restricted to current project

    Checkbox

    Default: No

    When turned on, the JQL focuses solely on the project in which an Issue is either being added or modified. This allows for a consistent Issue Picker field and setting, even when the dropdown options are meant to vary by project

    Filter (JQL)

    JQL Syntax is checked by the app
    Optional

    Enter your JQL query to specify the issues that will be displayed in the Issue Picker dropdown. Our app will verify the syntax of the JQL before finalizing the setup. If there's a syntax error, a notification will alert you:

    Link Type

    List of inward and outward Links.
    Default: no Link

    If enabled, a native Jira link of the chosen type will be established between the current and selected Issue(s) once an Issue is picked.
    Please be aware: The app retains the link object, but it will be deleted once the selected issue is either removed or substituted with another issue.
