The key to making use of the Jira Fields and Reports Extensions App is to understand what it is capable of. You would normally want to display various system and custom fields of an issue in a custom web panel in your own design and configuration while being able to borrow essential task-related information from a parent task will help you immensely when working with sub-task configurations.
After having configured which project's subtasks will be able to display their parent issue's various fields and which issues will be available to display self-information, now it is time to observe those changes in the issue view page. We can take a look at two examples where one uses the full own-issue approach and the other one displays the parent task's custom and system fields on top of its own custom and system fields.
› This specific configuration was designed to show the issue fields of the self-issue.
› The example here resembles a configuration template that was designed to display fields from the parent task as well as from the issue itself. Notice that the system fields and custom fields that were selected are distributed among the left, center and right sides of the issue page with respect to the user's choice.
› Field History tab
With the Field History tab provided by JFRE, your history panel is now more streamlined and organized.
In the field history detail, you can find an info button at the end of each line. This button displays all the changes made to the specific field.
