Cascading Custom Fields for Jira

Cascading Custom Fields for Jira (Multilevel Select List) is a collection of advanced custom field types designed to unlock new use cases within Jira. Whether you’re managing projects, tracking work, or collaborating with your team — this app helps you capture structured information consistently and at scale.

Platform note (Forge): This app is built on Atlassian Forge. Some Jira capabilities (especially Jira Service Management portal behavior) may be limited due to platform constraints. See Known Limitations for details.

Key features

Deep Cascading Select Lists — Prime Select List (deep cascading)

Create intricate hierarchies of options for efficient data organization.

  • Create multilevel select lists with a deep hierarchical structure.

  • Sort values alphabetically or define a custom order.

  • Search for list values using JQL (Jira Query Language).

  • Ideal for capturing complex relationships and consistent categorization.

Editable To-Do Lists — Prime To-Do List

Enhance task management with flexible, editable checklists.

  • Define checklists with predefined entries.

  • Allow users to customize entries per work item while keeping standard defaults.

  • Use JQL to search for entries (including checked/unchecked, depending on your Jira search requirements).

  • Ideal for tracking action items, QA steps, or operational checklists.

Validated Text Input (Regex) — Prime Short Text (validated)

Capture specific formats and enforce data consistency.

  • Create text inputs validated by regular expressions (e.g., IDs, codes, emails, phone numbers).

  • Useful for structured data like customer IDs, license keys, or asset references.

We plan to regularly add new custom field types to Cascading Custom Fields for Jira.

Use case examples

IT administration

  • Configuration items (CIs): Use deep cascading select lists to manage CIs in ITSM processes and categorize hardware/software/network components.

  • Compliance tracking: Validate structured inputs (e.g., license keys, patch levels) using regex to support audits.

Product owners & project management

  • Feature prioritization: Categorize features by impact, complexity, or ownership and search across projects.

  • User story checklists: Add repeatable checklists for readiness, testing, or release steps.

  • Project phases: Map phases (initiation, planning, execution, closure) using cascading values and search across work items.

  • Risk assessment: Capture standardized risk identifiers or formats with regex validation.

Strategy & leadership

  • Strategic initiatives: Use cascading values to align initiatives with goals, business units, or themes.

  • Dashboards & reporting: Store structured identifiers to power consistent reporting and cross-project views.
