Free text field withinh User Story details

[zvujkov]

Hi

Within User story details, we would like to have extra free text field, and no we can’t use « Notes » instead because we are already using that for something else. Could you please advise how can we get that extra field?

Regards
Zoran

Hello Zoran,

Unfortunately there is no way to add a custom field in the current version of iceScrum.

In order to understand your needs and consider improvements, can you tell me what would this field be?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas

our development consists of product part and customisations. Different project influence both parts and we have significant number of projects. PMO wants way to convey message to POs about milestones for certain User stories and for that we need extra free format field. We already using tags for project priorities and Notes for Development, so this extra field would help us a lot.

Any more questions, please ask

Regards
Zoran

Hi Nicolas

if you are going to implement this, would this be customisation for us? When do you think we can get this? What would be a cost?

Hello Zoran,

Sorry for the delay and thanks for your feedback. For the moment our efforts are focused on iceScrum R7, which beta version should be ready soon, so we don’t consider planning new features for the moment. However, we take your feedback into account and iceScrum R7 will bring more customization options.

In the meantime, I can think about workarounds:

• Freeing either the notes or the tags, which may be not desirable because it changes the current conventions. This would also imply finding a way to express the content that was previously there (maybe the « Development » part could be moved to tasks (this is a blind guess, of course it really depends on your context)
• Mixing content in one of the fields
• Using the comments

Would one of these workarounds help?

Best regards

Nicolas
