We're updating our terminology in Jira

'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

What are attributes?

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

 

Attributes in Assets are specific details linked to objects, such as descriptions, model numbers, related objects, or assigned owners.

Attributes can store various data types, including text, numbers, statuses, and object references. They can also be customized for specific needs, such as postcodes, string patterns, object types, or mandatory values. Learn more about different attribute types

Default attributes

Every object includes four default attributes:

  • Name - is created by default. You can rename an object to make it unique or set a different attribute as the label. Learn more about setting unique values

  • Key - is a unique identifier based on the object schema key and unique integer. Keys cannot be changed and may not always be sequential.

  • Created - shows the date and time the object was created. This attribute cannot be changed.

  • Updated - shows the date and time the object was last modified. It updates automatically when the object or its attributes change.
