Forge Custom Field Type (user/list) Not Available in Permission Schemes and Workflow Conditions

Hi everyone,

I’m developing a Forge app with a custom field type that stores multiple users. However, I’ve noticed that custom fields created from my custom field type don’t appear as options in:

  1. Permission Schemes - When selecting “User Custom Field Value” as a permission option

  2. Workflow Conditions - When restricting who can transition an issue based on “Users in Custom Field”

Only native Jira custom fields (like the built-in Multi-User Picker) appear in these locations.

My Custom Field Type Configuration

jira:customFieldType:
  - key: my-cft
    name: My CFT
    description: My CFT
    type: user
    collection: list
    readOnly: true
    resolver:
      function: resolver
    view:
      render: native
      resource: customFieldView
      experience:
        - issue-view
        - portal-view
    contextConfig:
      resource: customFieldConfig
      layout: basic
      render: native

  1. Is this a known limitation of Forge custom field types?

  2. Is there a way to make Forge custom field types with type: user recognized by Jira’s permission and workflow systems?

  3. Are there any workarounds or best practices for apps that need user-based custom fields that also work with permissions/workflows?

Any guidance or confirmation on whether this is possible would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
