  5. In the "Default Configuration Scheme for Multiple Issue Picker" section, select Edit Configuration next to "Configuration".
  6. A "Configuration" dialog appears.
  7. Enter the following information:
    • Display attribute: Select the issue attribute that should be displayed in the custom field's pull-down menu.
    • Also display the issue key: Select this option to display not only the attribute selected above but also the issue key.
    • Link Type: Select the link type used for linking picked issues.
    • Link direction: Select outward for outward links. By default inward links are created.
    • JQL: Enter a JQL query to limit the scope of the provided issues in the custom field's multi-select field.
    • Fields to display: Select the custom fields you want to have displayed for each issue (in a table).

    In the JQL query, you can use variables in replacement syntax, e.g. $!fieldHelper.getValueAsString("components").
