      Atlassian Update – 9 July 2020

      Hi everyone,

      Thank you for your votes and comments on this suggestion.

      We would like to inform you that this suggestion will be addressed in the upcoming Jira Server and Data Center version 8.12.0 release.
      User picker type custom fields will be consistent with the system fields of the same type in Jira Server. The custom fields will display the full name and avatar, like the Assignee field does now, for example.

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently when you add a Custom Field User Picker to your screen and add a user to the value of the field, it will display the username, and not the Full Name like what is displayed for the Reporter field for example.

      Expected that there would be some unity between what is displayed in the field value on transition screens. See screenshot.

            Hi,
            We still see this problem in "Jira Issue/Filter" macro when we use it in confluence, however the issue is not seen in "Filter Results" macro. Not sure why this happens.
            Could you take a look at it please ?

            Thanks
            Venkatesh Prasad

            Seriously guys? If you're going to do something, do it right or just don't do it at all! 

            For us who thought that this would also apply to multi user picker fields, we should have known better. Instead, go to JRASERVER-32092 and put on your waiting hat for a few more years

            This must be some hectic solution that you are implementing that takes over 2 years to develop. Please, please, please can you complete this task or provide us with feedback. This is ridiculous

            Is this issue really "In Progress" if it's been 1.5 years? It's in need of a status change and an official update from Atlassian.
