The "WSJF" field type allows you to manage the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) value for your tasks in Jira. With this custom field, you can evaluate the priority of your tasks based on a combination of value, time, and risk.
The WSJF field type provides you with a dynamic method to prioritize your tasks according to their estimated value and available resources. Use this feature to give your team members a clear view of the most important tasks and make more effective decisions about resource allocation.

Field Configuration
| Info |

Before starting the field configuration, please follow the instructions for creating custom fields |
Step 1: Set a Name And Description
Provide a good name for the new custom field. Make it descriptive, concise, and easy to understand for others who will use it. Avoid using ambiguous or overly technical terms.
Step 2: Configure Your Custom Field
The WSJF field allows you to choose from a pre-defined color palette or add your custom color as HEX color value.
Step 3 (Optional): Setup dynamic WSJF data
If you choose “link existing Jira custom fields“, the WSJF value can be calculated based on existing Jira fields. You can map existing Jira fields to the corresponding WSJF values.
