It is important to have more than one cell on a row. JIRA should allow having two or three list boxes on the same row. This saves space in the layout, and makes navigation and implementation of large forms much easier.
As this is very simple HTML, it shouldn't be a difficult task. thanks Yes, this would be nice, as long as it didn't cause horizontal scrolling too.
For radio groups, I get around it by making radio groups display horizontally: atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\fields\edit\edit-radio.vm line 13: #if($velocityCount != $configs.options.size())<br />#end to: #if($velocityCount != $configs.options.size())________ #end (where 8 underscores is really 8 spaces) Irritating scrolling and wasted time is one reason we're ditching our homegrown system. While demoing JIRA to other departments, this is the most common complaint I've received. I'd love to see the ability to layout multiple columns in the issue views- if there's a programmatic workaround, I'd be open to that as well.
I hope that all the participants to this issue have already implemented the Tab functionality which helps a lot when it comes to avoiding vertical scrolling. I suspect that clicking through tabs is less irritating that scrolling, especially if you can squeeze all your mandatory fields onto the default tab.
However, I'd still like to see more flexibility in the placement of fields horizontally on the screens. If the functionality were initially limited to fields of relatively narrow width, such as dropdowns, the effort could be managed. To get started, this functionality could be implemented first on the default fields. For instance, by placing "Affects Versions" and "Fix Version" on the same line. Eventually, this functionality would be most powerful if also applied to custom fields. It's very pity, that the issue
This will be a very useful feature if we could arrange the field horizontally..
We had this ability in the old tracking system so not having it in JIRA looks like regression for us. It would be very useful feature.
This issue woudl help our company move form an older issue tracking system to our new JIRA system. Our old sysytem has the ablity to have columns with fields and a customizable Web pages,
I agree: having several fields on one horizontal line would be most welcome.
Eg, MultiCheckbox field 1: This feature ist vital important for us! Lots of users complain about the long forms, and tabs cannot solve the problem satisfactory. As we have to use lots of radio buttons and checkboxes with short names the most part of the form is empty and the fields stick to the left side of the form. Please solve this problem at least for check boxes and radio buttons.
It would be great if the layout was smart, eg even just 2 options per line that might work out like this:
for each option, (work out value name length) Not sure what sort of impact this might cause to processing or loading times if there are multiple options and multiple fields on a form, but would be worth trying out. |
