Populating a select list with options from an external database

Populating a select list with options from an external database

Hi Jira community!

I have a select list field in one of our Jira forms but instead hard-coding the values for the options, I wanted to fetch the values from an external MySQL database. I can pull these information via an endpoint script but I am looking for ways to push this information to the select list.

Is this possible and what are the options to do this?

Thank you

Hi @alison.perez ,

As per my knowledge, this is feature is not available out of the box.

You can try third party apps like External Data for Jira Fields

Hi @alison.perez

I've never used it before, but did you try using Data Connections for Forms yet?

Hope this helps!
