Nested fields creating issue

Question

Dear community

I would need to create issues getting data from an event calendar I actually have on an excel file (csv). I would like to have user select the event where the issue has happened, selecting it through a nested workflow..

es: Tournament -> season -> matchweek -> match

Each field should contain filtered items depending on the previous choice

I tried with the app External Data for Jira Fields which is working with excel, but the nested workflow is not possible on the create issue screen... any ideas?

thanks

Yes NIc, this is clear to me, but this fields should populate dinamically with the data I have in the CVS file, which will have hundreds of rows.. it is not feasible to insert data manually in the field's configuration..

Select lists are populated with "options".  You enter these into the field's configuration in the admin section for custom fields.

Thanks Nic

How do you get the data for the selction? do you need to insert it manually when creating the field or can you read an external source?
