Looking for a custom field similar to the component field

[Norman Abramovitz]

Is there a way to get a custom field or a plugin that would give me the same interface behavior as the components field in JIRA 4.4? The existing checkbox and multi-select box custom fields just seems clumsy when compared to what the components field does.

Found this text in the in the JIRA 4.4 Administrator's Guide under the section of Configuring Renderers.

• for multi-select fields:
  • the Autocomplete Renderer, which allows the user to start typing text which is then 'autocompleted', or to select from a drop-down list of options; and
• the Select List Renderer, which simply provides a drop-down list of options.
  (please note: for custom fields of type "Multi Select", only the Select List Renderer is available)

I also checked the plugin site for "custom fields" and I did not find anything similar to Autocomplete Renderer.
