Custom Field - pull data from external source

Ricardo.Gomes

Hello!

I need to pull data that will populate some custom dropdowns in Jira Cloud, so I was wondering what would be the best/easiest ways/options to go about it.

I am looking into a couple of plugins that do that, but was also wondering if there are any other alternatives out there that I could make use of without having to develop my own connector app.

One of the integrations we need is stored in a MSSQL in SharePoint, but we could also move it somewhere else if that makes it easier.

I was also wondering if I can populate a dropdown field based on data that is stored in Jira (say from an JQL query result, for instance).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Posting here after a lot of research just in case someone has the same use case -

Found 3 really useful plugins that allow you to connect to an external data source (2 are paid, 1 is free). The connectivity varies for each one, with some also supporting external files, REST APIs, and Sharepoint - but all of them supporting most databases such as SQL, MySQl, PostgreSQL, etc.
