Format Fields

Format Fields is a custom field with multiple field types in it. It allows the user to type in certain text or numbers and the field will do the formatting based on the configuration.

Format fields are 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.

Available field types are:

MAC address
IP address
Phone number
Date
Email
FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name)

Create and configure the custom field

To create and configure the Format Fields 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 Format Fields and click Next.
Name and add a description to your field then click Next.
Select field type
Select additonal settings
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.
