Setup guide

Follow the steps to get started:

1. Install the app - you will find us on the Atlassian Marketplace.

2. New item Field Rules - UI modifications will appear in the Apps section of the left navigation of Jira admin settings.

3. Create your first UI modification

UI modification

A UI Modification (UIM) is an entry that allows you to define:

1. Where the issue UI should be modified - Contexts

2. How it should be modified - Field Rules

3. What it does - Name and Description

All these elements together form a recipe for how a specific issue view should behave in selected projects and under certain conditions.

Example 1. UIM configuration example

Contexts

A single context is a combination of a project, issue type, and view type. UIM support for different view types depends on a project type, learn more what is currently possible in the Limitations section.

View types currently supported by the app are:

• Global Issue Create

• Issue View

Rules

Due to API limitations, some rules are designed to work only for certain view types. We are actively developing new rule types and welcome your feedback and ideas. Feel free to reach out to us through our support portal.

Rule type	Global Issue Create	Issue View
Enable Self-Assignment Only	✅	➖
Hide field options	✅	✅
Hide issue types	✅	➖
Lock field	✅	✅
Make field required	✅	➖
Show field	✅	✅

Adding a New Field Rule:

1. Click on the Add Rule button.

2. Select a rule type from the options on the left.

3. Choose the field that will be modified.

4. Configure the rule by selecting the desired preconditions.

5. Save the rule to apply the changes.

Example 2. Adding a new rule

Order of UIMs vs Rules

For supported view types in supported projects, if there are registered UI modifications, the UIM app will be triggered. The app will then receive a list of UI modifications to execute.

For better response time, the Field Rules app executes all UI modifications at once. However, field rules defined for each UIM are executed in sequence. If your rules depend on each other or the order in which they are applied matters, we recommend keeping them within the same UIM.
