Field Configuration
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.
This option does not work when used in JSM
Step 3 (Optional): Setup Color based on value
You may set different colors for different values. For example use a traffic lights approach to determine issues with high or low WSJF values.

Example: a search for all issues with a WSJF score greater than 5
WSJF.WsjfScore > 5
Data Structure (Automation)
To set the value via automation, you need the following object structure
Please note, that this will only work correctly, if you choose the manual configuration and also set the calculated WSJF value yourself
{
"wsjf": {
"businessValue": number,
"timeCriticality": number,
"riskReduction": number,
"estimatedSize": number,
"wsjfScore": number
}
}
