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.
Go to Apps → Manage your apps → Fields.
Click on the Create custom field button on the right side of the screen.
Select Emoji field and click Next.
Name the field and add a description, then click Next.
Choose between creating a custom list or letting users choose their own emoji.
Associate the field with the appropriate screens and click Create. You must associate a field with 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.
