Emoji

Emoji custom field is a cool custom field for teams that look to rate or prioritize issues using a non conventional method, like emojis. Admins can define a list of emojis the users can choose from or let users choose the emoji from the field editor.

Emoji field is only available as a custom field type. It is not possible to define general values or any other settings options in the app configuration screen.


To create and configure the Emoji field custom field, you must be logged in as a user with Jira administrator permissions.
