Custom Field Manager: Sii’s first App is now available on Atlassian Marketplace

Sii, Atlassian Solution Partner, introduces its first application on the Atlassian Marketplace: Custom Field Manager for Jira. This tool helps administrators accelerate their work on the platform by enabling the management of multiple fields and contexts simultaneously. Read the article to learn more about the Custom Field Manager Application, which significantly enhances the use of many Jira features. 

Understanding Custom Fields in Jira 

Custom Fields are one of the most versatile and widely used features on the platform. They allow administrators to tailor issue forms, enabling teams to collect the specific data they need in a structured format. From select lists and date pickers to user pickers, the variety of options ensures compatibility with diverse workflows. 

For instance, a marketing team might use Custom Fields to track campaign performance metrics, while developers might utilize them for task prioritization or sprint planning. This flexibility makes Custom Fields indispensable for teams looking to maximize Jira’s potential. 

The challenges of managing Custom Fields 

While Custom Fields are powerful, managing them can be a significant challenge, especially for large organizations with complex Jira environment. Here are some common issues faced by administrators: 

1. Time-consuming setup: Creating new Custom Fields for a project often requires a step-by-step process, with no option to handle multiple fields simultaneously. 
2. Migration clean-up: After migrating to Jira Cloud, many organizations find themselves with hundreds of redundant or outdated Custom Fields, making cleanup a labor-intensive task. 
3. Inefficiency in daily management: With limited options for bulk operations, tasks like sorting, editing, or deleting fields become tedious work. 

Such challenges often result in significant time expenditure, which could otherwise be directed toward higher-value activities. 

How Custom Field Manager solves the problem 

Recognizing these pain points, Sii’s experts developed Custom Field Manager, a tool tailored for Jira Cloud administrators. The app is designed to streamline and simplify the management of Custom Fields. Key features include: 

• Bulk operations: Perform actions like adding, editing, or deleting multiple fields, contexts, or options simultaneously. 
• Unified view: Access all fields, contexts, and options in one place for better visibility and control. 
• Advanced sorting: Sort Custom Fields by type or other criteria to quickly locate the fields you need. 
• Enhanced field display: View more Custom Fields at once, eliminating the need for excessive navigation. 

For instance, a Jira administrator overseeing a migration project can use Custom Field Manager to quickly identify and delete outdated fields, reducing clean-up time from days to hours.
