Compatibility with Rich Filters for Jira

Hi there,

I’ve asked Rich Filters for JIra dashboard plugin

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214789/rich-filters-for-jira-dashboards?hosting=server&tab=overview

authors to support Tree Custom Field

Their reply was following

Unfortunately we’re currently unable to add dynamic filtering support for this field because the field is buggy and this creates all sorts of problem. For example, the field implementation doesn’t deal correctly with options with the same name. If you select the options (on two levels) A / X and B / X in two different issues, if you add this in a native statistic gadget, you’ll see that the gadget doesn’t make the distinction between the two “X” values which do not represent the same thing (one is a sub-option of A, the other is a sub-option of B). One will overwrite the other in the statistics.

Moreover, if you now add another option named “A/X” (on one level, the option name contains “/”), the JQL is unable to make the distinction between A/X (on one level) and A/X (A on level one and X on level 2).

There are other cases like these two. In general, the field doesn’t deal correctly with name conflicts.

Is there any chance these notes can be fixed? Having support in Rich Filters for JIra Dashboard would be highly beneficial for both plugins

‌

Cheers,

Sergei
