Plugin: MultiSelectCFType

[Viktor Mirzoyan]

My ultimate goal is to create a multi-select customfield type whose options will be populated from a external database.

To be more specific, I want to have a list of clients in a multi-select customfield that is pulled from from our local database.

As of now, I've been successful in creating a plugin skeleton and deploying a plugin -- for testing purposes.

I've read all the Atlassian resources I could find, which have helped me grasp the concept of how this needs to work.

Can someone guide me as to how I can configure multiselectCFType to add and display options created in code? Not neccessarly from a database right now, but I just want to see list of options in multi-select field that I've hard coded inside.

Did you have a look at the Database Value plugin? It has a single value custom field but you can modify the source to make it mutli valued. It has the source published!

Okay, so I was able to create the multi-select custom field type.. Now my question is say I have a list of string values in a ArrayList, how can I populate the options in the select field with those values? or what's the best way to go about this? Do I need to override any methods?

I would prefer to to be able to do it myself as I know for sure I'll be needing to do similiar integrations down the road.
