Overview

The Custom ID App is designed to generate unique, custom IDs for Jira issues. These IDs can follow user-defined patterns and can be used for better issue tracking and management across teams and projects.

This app provides a solution to the problem of attaching more elaborative information to a Jira issue. The default issue IDs provided by Jira may not always align with specific organizational needs or workflows. By creating custom patterns to generate Custom IDs for Jira Issue, a user has full control over attaching elaborative information to an issue. Teams can then easily share these custom IDs and can get an overview of what an issue is about in just a glance.
