Any simple way to set up "select-list options" from external source?

Karl Roth

If so, can the options be read "on the fly" meaning that I can add to them to the source (e.g. database or a Confluence page) independent from Jira, but next time I create a Jira issue the new options appear in the "select-list" field?

Hi @Karl Roth

When i have that need I had used Adaptavis Script Runner.

You can check this blog post about it

Hi Karl,

We use an add-on called External Data for Jira Fields. You can connect to XML, Database, etc.

Grrr - just realized it is only available for the Cloud version and you are using Server. Sorry :-(

Karl Roth

Grrr but thanks :-)

Karl Roth

Thanks Pedro. We look into this. At first sight the Script Runner seems to suit us.

Hi @Karl Roth , if you want to use an app that's dedicated to this kind of things on Server / Data Center, you should have a look at Elements Connect for Jira .

Elements Connect allows you to fetch data from a wide range of datasources (including databases) and display it nicely inside Jira issues. You can choose if you want your data to be live fetched or fields to be static and fetch their value from the source only once.
Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Julie from Elements

Hey Julie - what's the pricing model look like for Jira Cloud? I didn't see any pricing listed. :-)

Julie d_Antin _Elements_

Hello @John Funk , it's normal you don't see yet any pricing on the listing. During our beta, Elements Connect for Jira Cloud is free. Then it'll be priced per user per month (can't share the details yet, but will ping you here when we're ready to list the future pricing publicly).

Karl Roth

Thanks @Julie d_Antin _Elements_ - we'll have a look.
