Add a custom field on child issues to show the structures root element
I would like to see the root element in the structure in the custom fields of the children so I can use this when exporting data from jira

Andrea, thanks for your feedback!

It would be great to have a column called Structure that returned the name of the structures in the issue navigator similar to sub-tasks column. We would then add to JIRA Issue macro in Confluence for reporting purposes.

Kevin, thanks for the clarification.
It could be done with a synchronizer indeed, or even with just a StructureListener, but the problem is that there could be more than one structure, so you might need more than one custom fields.
Or it should be a very clever custom field with JavaScript code, which knows which structure is the current one. But that would mean that the field cannot be indexed and it won't be searchable.
So at the moment I don't see a clear path to exactly this feature in structure. On the other hand, we're going to release an "extensible columns" feature soon, which would allow to define a column in structure, which would display this value.

I would like to see it as a custom jira field, so on the issue details page as well
I think this could probably be done by writing a custom synchronizer, but maybe it's a good idea to have this included in structure itself. The field would be read only, or if editable as a consequence the structure itself gets updated.

Thanks - would you like to see that only inside structure (as a column), or also somewhere else (on the issue navigator search results table, on the issue page, etc)
