Attribute types

Assets in Jira Service Management is a Premium and Enterprise only feature. Learn more about Assets.

An attribute type determines what kind of information can be held in an attribute - text or number information, references to other objects, users or groups, projects, statuses, or links to a Bitbucket repository.

Attributes are divided into seven groups: Default, Object, User, Group, Project, Status, and Bitbucket repository.

Default attribute types

Contains a persistent value, such as a string of text, a number, or a URL. There are several subtypes:

An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.

-- Matsuo Bashō
