Well, for users who have been using the app before Elements Connect 7.0.0, you may now have 2 kind of custom fields:

  • A - Custom field created after the update to Connect 7.0.0

  • B - Custom field created before the update to Connect 7.0.0

Although there are no actual differences between how the fields are configured or behaving in your Jira issues, there is one thing you can’t do: Create dependencies between one another.

If you try to create a dependency between custom field A and custom field B (or the other way around)

  1. You will get a warning message after saving your field configuration
