It is simple. Really! To do things that can give a pretty good mileage during plugin configuration, especially for commercial plugins, is simple? Let us see.
In this short recipe, let us look at creating a custom field automatically during a plugin installation and deleting it while un-installation. Same applied for enabling/disabling of the plugin.

We have seen how to write a custom field in one of the previous tutorials. Writing the field is one thing but making it available to one of the JIRA's most powerful functionality, i.e. Search, is another!
So how do we do that? In most cases, you wouldn't need a custom searcher. Instead you can use the built in custom field searchers in JIRA itself. The list includes, but not restricted to, Text Field Searcher, Date Searcher, Number Searcher, User Searcher etc.
Well, I have chosen this as the first topic because of the most obvious reason. This is what most of the people will start with. That is one reason why there are lot of customfield plug-ins around! No matter how many are there, you will need a new type. You always do!
Given the context, let me make a huge assumption - You know how to create a skeleton plugin! If not, go to here and do it before you continue! |
