I suggest contacting Support directly:

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/

 

If you go by this:

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/log/working-with/creating-issue-reports/jira.html

 

Then it looks like you can't have custom anything

  • Bug issues must:

    • have the following fields:

      • Summary

      • Description

      • Priority

      • Assignee

      • Environment

    • have no required fields except for the ones mentioned above,

    • allow attachments.

If your JIRA project does not have the Bug issue type, or if the Bugs are configured differently, ask your JIRA administrator to configure them as stated above.

    That's a bummer :-( , shouldn't be forced to remove features from JIRA if your a new TestComplete user.  only solution i can think of is build a new project for just automation tickets.

      You shouldn't have to create a new project, just change your required fields.  The custom attributes can still be there, just make sure that they aren't marked as required.  The JIRA interface is clearly documented on this (as per Marsha_R's quotation) so it shouldn't be a surprise.

       

      HOWEVER... the JIRA interface IS a ScriptExtension... meaning that you can open the TCX file to gain access to the source code and make whatever customizations you want to.  I'd recommend, if you do so, that you rename the extension and deselect the pre-installed one so that, on upgrade of TC, you don't lose your customizations.  So, it is possible that you can still use your custom attributes, you'll just need to modify the script extension to support them.

        That is a great option, I think I will go with that.

      That's why I suggested asking Support.  They may know of a way around it or that a change is coming in a future release.
