Hey folks! I’m stuck with JIRA 3.13 and need some help. I’m trying to display a list of tickets on my dashboard based on a specific filter. The tricky part is I want to choose which columns show up. Like ticket name, description, and when it was resolved. You know what I mean?
I’ve been using the default ‘Show saved Filter’ option, but it’s super limited. No room for customization at all. It’s driving me nuts!
Does anyone know if there’s a way to make this happen in JIRA? Maybe there’s a plugin or something I’m missing? If so, is it free? And how do I set it up?
Really appreciate any tips or tricks you can share. Thanks a bunch!
I’ve been in your shoes, ZoeStar42. JIRA 3.13 can be frustrating when it comes to customization. From my experience, the best workaround is using the ‘Issues’ gadget instead of ‘Show saved Filter’. It offers more flexibility.
Here’s what worked for me:
Add the ‘Issues’ gadget to your dashboard.
Configure it to use your specific filter.
In the gadget settings, you’ll find an option to select which columns to display.
This method lets you choose columns like ticket name, description, and resolution date. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the default option.
If you need even more control, consider upgrading JIRA. Newer versions have improved dashboard customization. Alternatively, there are some third-party add-ons, but be cautious with compatibility in older JIRA versions.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more details on setting it up.
I’ve dealt with this issue in JIRA 3.13 before. While the ‘Issues’ gadget offers some flexibility, I found a workaround that might suit your needs better. Consider creating a custom HTML dashboard item. It requires some basic HTML and JQL knowledge, but it’s powerful.
You’ll need to write a JQL query to fetch the desired tickets, then use HTML to format the output. This method allows you to display exactly the columns you want, including ticket name, description, and resolution date.
The downside is it’s not dynamic - you’ll need to update the HTML manually when you want changes. But it gives you full control over the display. If you’re comfortable with a bit of coding, this could be your best option in JIRA 3.13 without resorting to paid plugins or upgrades.
hey zoestar42, i feel ur pain with jira 3.13. have u tried the ‘two-dimensional filter statistics’ gadget? it’s not perfect but u can kinda customize columns there. might be worth a shot. if not, maybe look into some free plugins like ‘custom charts for jira’. good luck!
