Rendering custom fields

If you’re developing a custom field, see which interfaces and methods we rely on to make sure the custom field will be rendered correctly on a Refined portal.

`RestAwareField`

If your custom field implements the RestAwareField and ensures a FieldJsonRepresentation is returned, we'll utilise the supplied rendered value when displaying the field value. This would also add support for your field in the regular Jira Rest API.

`OrderableField`

Another option is if you’re implementing the OrderableField and the getViewHtml method. If you’re implementing both of these the RestAwareField method takes precedence.

Frontend/Javascript

If you’re building your rendered value in the frontend, ensure your resources are loaded in the refined customer portal context by adding the context to the web-resource xml:

<web-resource key="resource-key" name="Resource Name">
 
    ...
 
    <context>refinedcustomerportal</context>
</web-resource>
