Create a JEditor-compatible Custom Field

Since it is impossible for a Jira Cloud's app to create its own custom field type, this app provides JEditor-compatible Editor for fields of Jira Cloud’s built-in types. This gives you important benefits:

• All JEditor-compatible data is stored securely in your Jira Cloud the same way other Jira data is stored. Your data will never be stored on our site.

• Search, JQL, export, API, email notifications, and other field-related utilities will work the same way other fields work.

Please follow the instructions below to create a JEditor-compatible custom field.
