    Type

    Description

    Field

    Type

    Description

    Field Name

    String

    The name of the custom field to be searched and used in the screen configuration

    Field Description

    String

    Additional description to be displayed for the end users

    Multiple

    Checkbox

    Automatically set and read only: when the admin creates “Single Issue Picker and Linker” or “Multiple Issue(s) Picker and Linker” OR
    Set by Admin when the Custom Field is created from Pick and Link Issue app configuration menu

    Checked: Many issues can be picked and linked
    Unchecked: Only one issue can be picked and linked.

    JQL

    String with Jira JQL Syntax

    Any JQL to define the issues to be picked and linked

    Empty: ALL Issues will be displayed

    Issue Link Type
    Issue Link Direction

    Select List

    The Admin can select the link type and direction to be created automatically when issues are picked in the Custom Field.

    Empty: No Links are created

    Sync Link Changes

    Checkbox

    We recommend to hide the configured Link Type in the Dialog Issue > More > Links or in the Field Linked Issues (Using Link Schema’s. This feature is planned in the next version of this app).
    In the case where the end user uses the configured link, this option allows to sync automatically the Custom Field after any Link change.

    Delete used options not matching JQL

    Checkbox

    Options within an issue picker's custom fields may no longer match the JQL results. This mismatch can occur if the JQL is modified or if issue values are updated. Our app automatically removes options that aren't selected in any issue and no longer match the JQL. If these options are in use and the issue picker is optional, you can choose whether to delete the options from all issues and then from the option list using this parameter. However, if the issue picker is a required field or not part of edit screen, Jira Cloud won't allow the deletion of these options. To proceed, you'd need to set the custom field to optional and re-index the issue picker.
