Adding a search request view
One of the customizable features in JIRA is its Issue Navigator. It lets us search based on numerous criteria and choose the fields that need to be shown in a way we want to see them!
The normal or the default view in the Issue Navigator is the tabular view to display the issues and the fields we have chosen by configuring the Issue Navigator. JIRA also gives us a few other options to see the search results in different formats, and to export them into Excel, Word, XML, and so on with the help of the predefined search request views.
In this recipe, we will see how we can add a simple HTML view into JIRA's Issue Navigator. Such search views enable us to see the search results in any format we like, and the HTML view we are creating is just an example. To achieve this, we need to use the search request view plugin module.
Getting ready
Create a plugin skeleton using the Atlassian plugin SDK.
