Summary

ℹ️ Always contact the Power Custom Fields Support Team before testing your environment.

  • Power Custom Fields Custom fields are not showing up on an upgraded Jira version.

Diagnosis

Run the following query to check if the app key is correct:

1 select * from customfield where cfname = "Power Custom Field cfname";
  • Note that cfname, in this case, is an example. Please check the proper name on your environment.

Problematic result:

Cause

For some unknown reason, when Power Custom Fields was updated over the years on the customer environment, the plugin key should update when the addon is updated, but in this case, something did not go as expected.

Solution

Contact Power Custom FieldsSupport to analyze this issue and help with the solution.
