Get started

Dig up, polish and display the data you really want in Jira work items.

Simply define what information you need and show the results live in two custom field types for text or number values - dynamically composed using our powerful JWT expression editor.

Different types for different needs

Smart Fields for Jira ships with two universal and dynamic custom field types for all kinds of needs. Instead of flooding your Jira site with many potentially unused and unneeded field types, you only need to create and configure a smart field when you really need it. 

What you want to see as output is entirely up to you. The expression editor best known from our best-rated Jira app Jira Workflow Toolbox (Cloud) will surface the data you need and display the results in one of the following field types:

• Smart number fields to display any kind of number, such as the number of open subtasks, unresolved or blocking work items and many more

• Smart text fields to display additional information such as details of the work item creator, historic due dates and many more

Dynamic values

No more unnecessary clicks and searches: Smart Fields for Jira was designed to effortlessly visualize information that was hidden under the hood.

Results are being updated dynamically every time you load an work item, so the information you seek is always live.

The spectrum ranges from simply displaying text from various sources, such as comments from linked work items, to complex calculations of accumulated time spent on related epics.

Why smart?

It's not only about just displaying existing data, you can manipulate it too. Using the power of the JWT expression editor, you can customize and enhance the data the way you need it.

The field overview - your central Smart Fields hub

The field overview page is your central hub for creating, viewing, and managing all your Smart Fields in one place. The Field overview page works just like a control center — you can create new fields, check their execution status, and edit existing ones without jumping between multiple Jira admin screens.

Templates

Explore the Templates from the library to speed up your next field creation. You will find all templates built right into the app once you start the page creation process.

Categories

Currently all templates are grouped into “topic areas” or categories mostly related to the data you want to display.

Troubleshooting made easy

Each execution of Smart Fields is being tracked in a dedicated log that can be accessed directly through the Jira user interface - the execution log.

This basically means that every time a Smart field is being updated or re-calculated (e.g. when a user refreshes a work item that contains the field), an event is being logged in the execution log.
