The Jira Filter Picker custom field allows users to select and display Jira filters as clickable links. This enhances navigation by enabling users to quickly open and view saved filters directly from the field.
Create and configure the custom field
To create and configure the Issue Picker custom field custom field, you must be logged in as a user with Jira administrator permissions.
Go to Apps → Manage your apps → Fields.
Click on Create custom field button on the right side of the screen.
Select Issue Picker custom field and click Next.
Name and add a description to your field then click Next.
Select a single or a multi select field, choose a link type and define a JQL filter which will display only desired issues in the dropdown menu of the field
Click on the magnifying glass button to test your JQL filter, then click Next.
Turn ON sync
Associate the field to the appropriate screens and click Create. You must associate a field to a screen before it will be displayed.
To restrict editing access for the Multilevel Select Picker, the Edit Permissions tab is used. Specific users, user groups, and Jira roles can be defined to have editing permissions for the custom field. If editing access is intended for all users, the field should be left empty.
Please note that the create screen has a separate toggle that allows defining whether users without edit permissions can create values in create screens.
