Custom fields are not being displayed on next-gen projects

    • next-gen
    • None

      Summary

      After adding custom fields to a next-gen project, the fields are not visible on the creation/editing screen

      Environment

      • Jira Software Cloud

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create an issue type, 'Foo'
      2. Create an issue type, 'Bar'
      3. Create a custom field, 'My Custom Field' in the 'Foo' issue type
      4. Add 'My Custom Field' to the 'Bar' issue type

      Expected

      'My Custom Field' should be visible in Bento for 'Bar' issues.

      Actual

      'My Custom Field' is not visible in Bento for 'Bar' issues.



      Notes

      Workaround

      Re-save each of the broken Issue Types (Project Settings > Issue Types > "Save changes")

      You can also try recreating the custom field. It should now appear on the issue view.

            NOTE: Removing a Jira field, pressing Save, then adding the Jira field back and pressing Save does NOT reflect the custom field that were previously created when attempt to "Create" a new Jira ticket. To resolve this you have manually add back the custom fields by going into the "Configure fields" and selecting the fields that you want visible.

            The above suggestions may be correct with regard to the "Edit" screen.

            I would not describe this as a workaround, it is "the" fix. There is some missing background data in the broken issue types, updating again correctly recreates this data, so the problem should not re-occur on future issue type changes.

            Anything that allowes you to click the "Save Changes" button (greyed out in the attached screen shot) will resolve the issue for that issue type.

            @sam, my pleasure .

            @Keynan, I'm not sure I correctly understand what you mean. Do you mean the bug has been fixed and we just need to do the workaround I described to clean up the data structure? Meaning that we will not face this issue anymore for new custom field. Or is this something else entirely?

            The code has been repaired, however application state must be restored manually. Any modification to the settings of the effected issue type should restore normal functionality.

            @David, that work around just worked for me. Thanks for sharing!

            The following workaround works perfectly for me:

            1. Open the Project settings in a next-gen Jira project.
            2. Open Issue Types
            3. Add a default Jira field to the issue type that has the custom field.
            4. Click save.
            5. Remove the same default Jira field from the same issue type.
            6. Click save.
            7. Now the custom field is visible in each product backlog item of the corresponding issue type .

            Hope that helps the community.

            Let's get this soaked already, how long can you guys stall this major fix.

            @Keynan, what does awaiting soak mean? When do you expect this issue to be resolved?

            Thank you.

            I am also experiencing this issue as well. 
            Custom Field added does not display when creating a new issue regardless of the issue type (Epic, Bug, Story).

            The Workaround above does not work even after saving the issue type or adding an new custom field, or moving from primary to secondary fields.

            This is a regression, I agree with @Sam Parkinson => This is now a critical issue. We also may not be able to adopt Next-gen Jira and may potentially look for alternatives to Jira if this is not resolved.

            Please inform us as soon as this is resolved. Thank you.

            I am also experiencing this issue. The workaround only half worked for me, fixing it for one issue type, but not for another.

            This is going to cause an impact to my use of the nex-gen project board very shortly.

            It seems to me this is a regression as it was working fine a week or two ago.

            Here is my current situation:

            1. I created a next-gen Jira project two weeks ago.
            2. I created custom issue type with custom fields.
            3. I have created product backlog items with the custom issue type for two weeks and I was able to access the custom fields.
            4. Today, I created a new custom issue type using the same custom fields.
            5. I created a product backlog item with the new custom issue type and I was unable to access the custom fields.
            6. I created a product backlog item with the old custom issue type and I was able to access the custom fields.

            So it seems that the problem might be with new custom issue type using custom fields.

            I tested the workaround and the bug is still there. Awaiting for the final solution but I had to suggest not to use Next-Gen projects until this is fixed.

            Hey paul.steckler, We've managed to find consistent steps to reproduce the issue and we're working on a solution. We hope to get it shipped soon. Thanks for your patience!

            Hey folks, still waiting? No updates in the last 24 hours. 5 days and counting with no solution?

            Hey folks, any updates? I'd take any workaround at this point - we are essentially down at this point.

            Testing this more:

            1. Repros in one project for sure, BLUE
            2. In another project this does not repro if I remove/add field
            3. In a new project things appear to work

            Unfortunately BLUE is mission critical for our team.

            I also tried removing a custom field, City, saving, then adding it back. No change in behavior, it is still broken.

            100% repros

             

            If I remove and add the fields does this affect the data? We have made heavy use of this feature.

             

            Also please don't lower the priority, this is crushing our business right now.

            paul.steckler can you confirm if this problem is still occurring on your instance, can you try removing and re-adding the custom fields to your affected Issue Types?

            We have been unable to re-produce this so far, we apologise for the inconvenience caused and suspect some caching issues at this stage.

            Hi Jira - this is a mission critical bug for us and is blocking the team. Unsure what each priority means but Medium seems low.
