In Requirement Yogi for Jira, you can create a custom field for the Requirement Yogi data. It will allow you to:

  • See the linked requirements in the details of the Jira issue,

  • See the linked requirements in the search, as a separate column,

  • Search for Jira issues associated with a requirement,

  • Have the requirements listed in the REST API of Jira issues.

Where are the custom fields visible?

When you have a Requirement Yogi custom field in Jira, the values are visible in the details of tickets, in the search, in the REST API and as a search criteria.

Tips & tricks

  • The data is not stored in the custom field, but in the Requirement Yogi database. Therefore the Requirement Yogi panel and the custom fields represent the same value.

  • The custom field only displays the links of one relationship, while the Requirement Yogi panel on Jira issues display all relationships. If you use several relationships, you will have to create several custom fields. There is no custom field for “all relationships” because there is no room to represent those relationships, on screen or in the REST API.
