Question

How can I add a country selection field to Jira?

Answer 1

I’ve posted the the answer hoping it will help others, as well as hearing your thought on it..

Add a test field and get it’s ID, for example let’s say it’s “customfield_11111”. Than add it the following description:

<script src="https://jira.com/getCountrySelect.js">
</script>

You can write the code directory in the description, but I found it easier to backup and update the scripts this way. Then, in you app-data folder create the file getCountrySelect.js (replace the fieldID with your filed id):

var fieldId = "customfield_11111";
AJS.$(document).ready(function() {
    var country = AJS.$("#" + fieldId).val();
    AJS.$("#" + fieldId).parent().append("<select class='select' id='" + fieldId + "' name='" + fieldId + "'></select>");
    var select = AJS.$("select#" + fieldId);
