Field Codes and Usage

Automation Toolbox for Jira provides a set of special fields called virtual fields, making almost all properties of issues, projects and users accessible to every feature in the app.

Virtual fields may be read and written by Automation Toolbox for Jira in the same way ordinary custom fields are.

Virtual fields and their associated field codes, were created to

  • provide data accessibility beyond the scope of normal Jira workflow processing
  • insure data integrity throughout their use.

In Automation Toolbox for Jira you can use virtual fields by searching for and picking their associated field codes in the dropdown menus provided wherever a parser expression can be inserted.
