Default value

Setting a default value works in a similar way as for regular custom fields (Jira feature). However, at the moment, the Jira editor doesn't support third-party custom fields well in that area, and the value must be entered in raw form.

  1. Go to Settings ⚙️ -> Issues -> Custom fields

  2. Find the field and click 3 dots icon ⋯ on the right, choose 'Contexts and default value'

  3. Click on the "Edit Default Value" link

  4. Enter the JSON representation of the value in the issue

Custom field value format

It is important to add translations for all configured languages. If a translation is not added here, it will not work for users.

Single choice field types

This includes: Translated Select (single choice), Translated Radio Buttons

{ "id": "112",
  "value": "Green",
  "pl_PL": "Zielony"
}

Multiple choice field types

Translated Select (multiple choice), Translated Checkboxes

{ "items": [
    { "id": "105",
      "value": "Code Review",
      "pl_PL": "Review kodu"
    },
    { "id": "106",
      "value": "Documentation",
      "pl_PL": "Dokumentacja"
    }
  ]
}
