Description Christian Reimann

2009-11-16 06:44:14 EST

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: M20080911-1700

I created an own custom field type in Jira, which basically is a single selectbox filled with values from the database. I'd like to view this field in the Mylyn task editor, but although i considered the limitations mentioned on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/FAQ#JIRA_Connector, the field value is not being displayed.

It is even worse that saving the issue in the task editor causes the erasure of the custom field value in Jira. As far as i could analyze, the SOAP response from the Jira API delivers the correct custom field value to mylyn. But i don't see the reason why it is not written back properly.

Mylyn/Jira Connector Version: 3.3.0 v20091015-0500-e3x

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a custom field type plugin in Jira
2. Fill the edit-template with a regular <select> box
3. Add a custom field that uses the new field-type
4. Create a new issue & fill the custom field
5. Query the issue in mylyn

The support for custom fields is unfortunately limited at the moment. It would help if you could attach the XML output for a task that has one of these custom fields (use the XML link in the top left when viewing an issue in the web browser).
