Field	Type	Description
Field Name	String	The name of the custom field to be searched and used in the screen configuration.
Field Description	String	Additional description to be displayed for the end users.
Multiple	Checkbox	Automatically set and read only when the admin creates Single Issue Picker and Linker or Multiple Issue(s) Picker and Linker. Alternatively, this can be set by the admin when the custom field is created from the Pick and Link Issue app configuration menu. Checked: Many issues can be picked and linked. Unchecked: Only one issue can be picked and linked.
JQL	String with Jira JQL Syntax	Any JQL to define the issues to be picked and linked. Empty: All issues will be displayed.
Issue Link Type Issue Link Direction	Select List	The admin can select the link type and direction to be created automatically when issues are picked in the custom field. Empty: No links are created.
Sync Link Changes	Checkbox	We recommend hiding the configured link type in the dialog Issue > More > Links or in the field Linked Issues using link schemes. This feature is planned in the next version of this app. If the end user uses the configured link, this option allows the custom field to be synced automatically after any link change.
