Interface CustomFieldDefinitionJson

The description of the custom field, which is displayed in Jira.

The name of the custom field, which is displayed in Jira. This is not the unique identifier.

The searcher defines the way the field is searched in Jira. For example, com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:grouppickersearcher. The search UI (basic search and JQL search) will display different operations and values for the field, based on the field searcher. You must specify a searcher that is valid for the field type, as listed below (abbreviated values shown):

cascadingselect: cascadingselectsearcher datepicker: daterange datetime: datetimerange float: exactnumber or numberrange grouppicker: grouppickersearcher importid: exactnumber or numberrange labels: labelsearcher multicheckboxes: multiselectsearcher multigrouppicker: multiselectsearcher multiselect: multiselectsearcher multiuserpicker: userpickergroupsearcher multiversion: versionsearcher project: projectsearcher radiobuttons: multiselectsearcher readonlyfield: textsearcher select: multiselectsearcher textarea: textsearcher textfield: textsearcher url: exacttextsearcher userpicker: userpickergroupsearcher version: versionsearcher

If no searcher is provided, the field isn't searchable. However, Forge custom fields have a searcher set automatically, so are always searchable.
