Custom field. Select bitbucket branches from drop down list when create issue

Question

Hello,

Is there a way or script to list bitbucket branch into a dropdown list that related to a Project Key.

The plan is that when create Jira Issue bug, we can select a branch from the list and it will appear in detail section.

Product used is JIRA Server & Bitbucket Server.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @[deleted]

You can accomplish this with the app Elements Connect (previously called nFeed).
(Disclaimer: I am the product manager of Elements Connect, I work for Elements)

Here is how:

* Create an Application link between Jira and Bitbucket (preferred) OR create an Elements Connect datasource of type URL that point to Bitbucket REST API - Read the doc
* Create an Elements Connect field of type "Live text" or "Snapshot text" (see the difference)
* Configure the field, select the "Bitbucket" datasource
* Field configuration is:* Query:rest/api/1.0/projects/PROJECT-KEY/repos/REPO-NAME/branches?filterText=$userInput

where  PROJECT-KEY is the bitbucket project key and REPO-NAME is the bitbucket repository nam
* Root element:$.values

* 1 json column:* Name: displayId - JSON Path: $.displayId

* Key: 0 (if you selected "Live text")
* Editor: Autocomplete (can be any type expect "Read only")
* Template:{0}

This is the configuration of a bitbucket repository picker. The text typed by the user in the autocomplete field is used to filter the query. ($userInput variable).

You can adapt this configuration to your needs and explore the Bitbucket configuration here: https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/7.3.1/bitbucket-rest.html?#idp200
