Hey Nodar,

I'm the Product Manager of Elements Connect for Jira Cloud, and I believe you could also use our app to retrieve any attributes from Azure AD, and then populate a Jira user custom field with its value.

You can follow this tutorial to Connect to Azure AD and this one to push the value retrieved in a Jira user field!

Let me know if you need help with the configuration or further assistance :)

Hi Nodar,

We use a Marketplace add-on called Azure AD Attributes. With that app it is easy to retrieve the Manager of the user.
