The custom field is available by default in Jira

In Jira, the "Requirement Yogi Links" custom field was only available to non-Data-Center versions by default. It is not available for everyone.

• JQL works!

  • Example: RequirementCustomField = 'REQ-002' (the name depends on the name you provided for this field),

  • Example: RequirementCustomField in requirementYogiKeys("REQ-%")

  • See: JQL Syntax

Open

• If you have already created a custom field, you need to upgrade the "searcher" to be able to use JQL. See screenshot below.

Open

New layout for the Jira dialog

Removed

• We have removed the "display mode" field form the RY Report macro, since it didn't work and no-one noticed it for 2 years.

• In the traceability matrix, it is not possible anymore to display the status of a Jira issue in the same cell. You must add a new column for the "status" field.
