v6.3.0 native SDKs are built to provide additional support for Custom Issue Fields!
For running workflows and reports on user metadata, we recommend using this new method of implementation to directly pass through data as Custom Issue Fields into your Dashboard. Also, with this SDK, you are no longer limited to passing through metadata as single line text fields. You will now have the ability to send data from the SDK directly to Issues in the form of drop-down fields, booleans, numbers, checkboxes, and increments of time using Custom Issue Fields.
Please review our release notes to see the other additions and fixes this build has to offer:
