Smart Fields library
The Smart Fields library provides you with an overview of all available templates and additional use cases (example expressions) that should give you an easy start on how to use Smart Fields for Jira.
Make sure to come by once in a while since the number of use cases will grow over time.
Templates
Smart fields provides a varied set of preconfigured Templates you can use with minimal configuration. These are shown if you Create and configure smart fields or when you Manage existing smart fields / Field overview.
They are group into logical categories depending on the use case or the data that you likely want to display. These categories are:
📚 Use cases
In addition to the built-in templates we have collected a large collection of uses cases to be used in Custom smart number fields and Custom smart text fields
Custom smart number fields
