How to create a multi select list field in JIRA where the values of the list updates dynamically.

Shreya Paul_jlc90u

For the dynamic update , we can fetch data from an external excel on sharepoint.

So, whenever a new entry is added in the shared Excel, that values must also appear as one of the list options in JIRA.

Please share if there is any alternate approach for the same problem statement.

Hi Shreya - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

We use a third-part add-on for that called External Data for Jira Fields

Hi @Shreya Paul

As John kindly mentioned you can use the app External Data for Jira Fields.

The app has several use cases, one of which fits your description very well. It is called Field Options Sync and synchronises the values of an external data source with a native Jira select list or multi-select list. You can find an introduction here.

In case you have trouble setting things up please create a support ticket. Links can be found within the app.

Greetings,

Thomas

Hi @Thomas Opiolka - codefortynine ,

Thank you for your input.

I have requested for the trial version of the app. However it hasn't be approved in the last week. Is there any action I can take process the approval?

Hi @Shreya Paul ,

in case you mean the app request feature mentioned here then an administrator of you instance has to approve it. This is something we cannot influence. Please keep in mind that you also need administration rights to configure the app in case it is already installed. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Thomas
