What's new in this version
Ability to export project team data in CSV format
Starting this version the project team data can be exported in CSV format. Clicking the newly added export icon from the Project Team tab of the projects will generate a CSV file with the data from the project team table. The new export icon is available in both "By members" and "By roles" display modes.
Also, the Project Team gadget now supports exporting the data in CSV format.
Multi Line Text fields entirely displayed in Project Team gadget
The value of the Multi Line Text user custom fields is now entirely displayed in Project Team gadget. Previously it was truncated.
What Project Team does?
- Highlights the team of the project. The app adds a new tab to the Jira projects named "Project Team" on which the team members are displayed along with their project roles as they are defined and configured by the Jira or project admin.
- Extends the Jira user profiles It allows extending the profiles of the Jira users by adding user custom fields o various types that allows you mapping attributes like Phone, Skills, Bio or Manager. The fields becomes visible on the users profile on a newly added section named "Additional Attributes".
- Displays Organizational Charts Using the Org Chart Gadget you can create organizational charts with a specific department or your entire organization and make it visible via Jira dashboards.
Displaying the Project Team
The team can be displayed in two different modes, depending on the user's selection.
Project team displayed by members
In this mode each team member is listed along with its full name, username, avatar, email address, project role(s) and the user custom fields defined by the Jira administrator. You can click the username to see the profile of the user.
You can sort the data in the table by clicking a column header. Also, the data can be filtered by typing a text in the Filter by field.
This mode is used when Display mode is set to By members.
The size of the avatar (small or large) can also be changed in the app configuration page (see Configuring the app settings).
The content of the table can be exported in CSV format by clicking the top-right export icon.
Project team displayed by project roles
In this mode each role defined in the project is listed along with its members. You can click the username to see the profile of the user.
You can sort the data in the table by clicking a column header. Also, the data can be filtered by typing a text in the Filter by field.
This mode is used when Display Mode is set to By roles.
The Total Members column indicates the number of members belonging to each project role. The content of the table can be exported in CSV format by clicking the top-right export icon.
Displaying the Project Team on your Jira dashboard
The Project Team Gadget displays the team belonging to a specific project in your Jira dashboards. Moreover, because Jira gadgets can be added to the Confluence pages, you can also display your project team in Confluence.
The gadget displays the same members as the "Project Team" tab of the project, based on the app configuration settings. Clicking the Export CSV link from the bottom of the gadget will export the gadget data in CSV format.
NOTE The current Jira user must have permissions for browsing the project and View permissions in Project Team in order to visualize the team displayed by the gadget.

The values of the custom fields are also displayed and can edited on the Profile page of the Jira users, under the Additional Attributes section.
The custom fields can be edited on the user profile page only by the users themselves or by the users that have edit permissions (see the "Configuring the app permissions" section).
Displaying user attributes in issue screens
Project Team introduces a new type of issue custom field named User Advanced Attribute, which can be used to display the advanced attributes of the issue's reporter, assignee or other user-field in Jira issue screens. They will appear under the Details panel of the issue screen.
These issue custom fields can also be displayed as columns of the search results table.
Follow these steps to add a custom field that displays an advanced attribute (added via user custom fields in Project Team) of a user:
- Log on to Jira as an administrator
- Go to Issues > FIELDS > Custom fields
- Click Add custom field
- In the Select a Field Type dialog, click All or Advanced and select the User Advanced Attribute custom field type
- In the Configure 'User Advanced Attribute' Field dialog, enter a Name for the new field
- At Description you must enter the arguments for mapping the field on a user attribute in this format:
issue|Issue_User_Field|User_Custom_Field_Type|User_Custom_Field_ID
Argument | Description |
issue | This must be always set to "issue" |
Issue_User_Field | This represents the ID of the Jira issue field that contains the user key. User 'reporter' for issue's reporter, 'assignee' for issue's assignee or the id of other issue custom field that contains a user key (for example a custom field of type User Picker) |
User_Custom_Field_Type | This represents the type (as numeric value) of the user custom field defined in Project Team that represents the user advanced attribute that you want to map. To determine the type of the user custom field to be mapped, go to Jira Administration > Project Team > User Custom Fields and look at the column Type. |
User_Custom_Field_ID | This represents the ID (numeric value) of the user custom field defined in Project Team that represents the user advanced attribute that you want to map. To determine the type of the user custom field to be mapped, go to Jira Administration > Project Team > User Custom Fields and look at the column ID. |
Examples:
issue|reporter|0|1 - this will display the reporter's user custom field that has type 0 - Text and ID 1
issue|assignee|1|2 - this will display the assignee's user custom field that has type 1 - Multi Value Picker and ID 2
issue|10102|1|2 - this will display the user custom field that has type 1 - Multi Value Picker and ID 2 of the user specified in the issue's custom field that has ID 10102
Make sure to separate the arguments by '|'.
- Click Create to add the field
- Associate the newly added field with the issue screen.
NOTE The field is displayed in view issue screen only if it has a value. So please make sure that user for which the value is displayed has the corresponding user custom field set in his profile. The field does not appear in edit issue screen as it is just a read-only field. Also, the field is not searchable so it cannot be used in JQL queries.
Displaying organizational charts
Organizational charts with your departments or entire organization can be displayed in Jira dashboards using the Org Chart Gadget. Moreover, because Jira gadgets can be added to the Confluence pages, you can also display the org chart in Confluence pages.
Prerequisites for organizational charts

JQL functions
Project Team comes with a JQL function named getUsersByAdditionalAttribute that can be used in JQL queries to filter the Jira issues by their user fields (like reporter or assignee) when using the IN keyword. The function returns the users who have an additional attribute (a user custom field added with Project Team app) that matches a certain condition. The user attribute, the condition and the expected value are specified through the function arguments.
Syntax
getUsersByAdditionalAttribute(userCustomFieldName, condition, expectedValue)
Arguments
userCustomFieldName - represents the name of the additional attribute (user custom field). It is case sensitive. Cannot be empty.
condition - represents the condition (operator) that the specified attribute must match. Cannot be empty. The condition must match the type of the user custom field specified in the first argument. The supported conditions are the ones from the table below.
User Custom Field Type | Supported conditions |
Single Line Text | 'is', 'is not', 'contains', 'does not contain', 'begins with', 'does not begin with', 'ends with', 'does not end with', 'in', 'not in' |
Multi Line Text | 'is', 'is not', 'contains', 'does not contain', 'begins with', 'does not begin with', 'ends with', 'does not end with' |
Multi Value Picker | 'has any of' |
User Picker | 'is', 'is not', 'in', 'not in' |
expectedValue - represents the value to match. It cannot be empty. For conditions like 'in', 'not in' or 'has any of' that supports multiple values, you can enter multiple values separated by comma (",").
Usage examples
In this example, the JQL assignee IN getUsersByAdditionalAttribute("Phone", "is", "201 665 23123") will return all the Jira issues assigned to the user (Kate Millet) that has phone number "201 665 23123" set in her Profile under Additional Attributes.
Other usage examples:
reporter IN getUsersByAdditionalAttribute("Region", "begins with", "A")
assignee IN getUsersByAdditionalAttribute("Manager", "in", "john.smith, dorothy.grey")
assignee IN getUsersByAdditionalAttribute("City", "in", "Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco")
assignee IN getUsersByAdditionalAttribute("Spoken Languages", "has any of", "French, Spanish")
