Question

Downstream references tab - add fields?

For a tracker item, when you go to the Downstream references tab it displays a few fields from each downstream reference.  Is there a way to add another field that displays in this table?

Hi ​@TJ_12890088 

There is not a way to add columns but there might be another way to get that data for you. You can use computed fields to display data from downstream items. If you would like some help with that, just let me know more details about your current configuration.

thanks for the reply...sounds intriguing - how would that work and where would the data be displayed?  Trying to get to a situation where a user can click a work item, then easily see the downstream items with several more fields than currently displayed.

 

I have a tracker for the CMDB and any CMDB item, I want to see change requests and other work items listed against it (already does that) but I also want some custom fields on change requests to be displayed too….

Hi ​@TJ_12890088 

It will really depend on what exactly the information is you are wanting. You can use a computed field and grab all the downstream items with downstreamReferences(this).{item | concat(item.name, " — ", item.status.name)}  That would output: [Item A — Open, Item B — Closed]. If any of the fields are custom, you would first need to filter by tracker type and then join everything together.

 

If you want a vertical list, you will need to have the field be set as wikitext and use something like this:

replace(replace(replace(
  concat(downstreamReferences(this).{item |
    concat("• ", item.name, " — ", dflt(item.status.name, "?"))}),
  "[", ""), "]", ""),
", • ", "\\\\• ")

Which would output:

• Item A — Open
• Item B — Closed

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
