Specify fields displayed by `jira jql "custom_jql"`

[rasivasu]

Is it possible to add / remove fields displayed by jira jql "custom_jql"?

[palashkulsh]

try adding following in options object inside config.json

"list_issues_columns": { "Key": { "jsPath": "key" }, "Summary": { "jsPath": "fields.summary", "truncate": 70 }, "assignee": { "jsPath": "fields.assignee.name", "truncate": 15 }, "Status": { "jsPath": "fields.status.name" } },

Adding "list_issues_columns" didn't change the output of jira jql custom_jql. Would you also let me know how I can find other possible fieldnames?

    "custom_alasql": {
        "project": "select fields->project->name , count(1)  AS counter from ? group by fields->project->name",
        "priority": "select fields->priority->name , count(1)  AS counter from ? group by fields->priority->name",
        "status": "select fields->project->name,fields->status->name , count(1)  AS counter from ? group by fields->project->name,fields->status->name"
    },
    "list_issues_columns": {
        "Key": { "jsPath": "key" },
        "Summary": { "jsPath": "fields.summary", "truncate": 70 },
        "assignee": { "jsPath": "fields.assignee.name", "truncate": 15 },
        "Status": { "jsPath": "fields.status.name" }
    },

try jira jql customjql -j 1 | jq . | less
you must have jq installed otherwise you can just run jira jql customjql -j 1 it gives corresponding json output.

If you are really adventurous you could hit the api endpoint to see if there are any hard coded limits:

This line is how we hit the api with rest/api/2/search?jql=
https://github.com/danshumaker/jira-cli/blob/master/lib/jira/ls.js#L138

As documented here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/#searching-for-issues-examples
And then elaborated on here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/advanced-search-reference-jql-fields/

But I guess we should switch our issue search to eventually use: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-jql/#api-group-jql instead.

@palashkulsh Thank you. I am able to see what field names to use from the json.

But defining "list_issues_columns" in config.json didn't change the fields in the output. I checked out the codebase for jira-cli. I don't see the codebase referring to "list_issues_columns". At the same time, I saw the following line in ls.js.

        that.table = new Table({
          head: ['Key', 'Priority', 'Summary', 'Status', 'FixVersions'],

Can you confirm if adding the below lines to config.json will really change the list of fields being displayed in the output?

    "list_issues_columns": {
        "Key": { "jsPath": "key" },
        "Summary": { "jsPath": "fields.summary", "truncate": 70 },
        "assignee": { "jsPath": "fields.assignee.name", "truncate": 15 },
        "Status": { "jsPath": "fields.status.name" }
    },

@rasivasu I also can't see any references to list_issues_columns in the ls.js file (the one responsible for handling the jira jql file) and specifically the getIssues method (the one responsible for creating the table).

As a temporary workaround you could use the --json flag, then, using your scripting language of choice, create something in your profile to parse this json, get the fields your want, then show the table as you wish.
