      Currently we only create Text and MultiChoice CustomFields from Redmine, because there was no way to know anything more about them via REST. Since Redmine 2.4 there is availiable REST endpoint which returns all definitions of Custom Fields - including their type / possible values etc.

      We should add support for new definitions of Custom Fields

            JIM now supports all custom fields that are allowed in issues.

            Known limitations:

            • JIM handles only Custom Fields that are created for issues - CFs created for projects/version/users etc will be ignored, as JIRA doesn't allow such fields
            • List field will be always created in JIRA as dropdown - Redmine allows to pick if it should be rendered as Dropdown or Checkboxes, unfortunately this information is not passed via REST, so we treat it always as a dropdown
            • Logic field - JIRA doesn't have boolean custom field, so it will be rendered as Radio buttons Custom Fields with two options: "Yes" and "No"
