Populating Custom Field with data coming from SOAP API

[Ishan Nanda]

Hi,

I want to have a custom field (list type) which will show values coming from an external SOAP API. 

Can you please help how to achieve it. Specially with Script runner

You won't be able to do that with an existing Single Select field since those values have to exist as Options in the field configuration.

But with script runner behavior single select conversion, you can transform a text custom field into a single select and the list of values can be populated from a remote api call.

Now, if you need to use SOAP instead of REST as shown in the article, you will have to do some research outside of the Atlassian Community. For example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19941770/send-soap-with-groovy-or-java
