Hi!
I need to implement a Custom Field in Jira, where the User is able to select Users from an external Databse and store the Username in a Text Custom Field.
I came across this post
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-create-and-interact-with-a-JIRA-user-picker/qaq-p/573260
and I implemented it with an custom REST endpoint which delivers the appropriate data structure. Unfortunately after selecting an user-entry from the suggestions, the selected username is not stored within the text custom field.
Additionally I also need to be able to add values which are not part of the suggestions.
I alos tried to user a Single Select List as the Custom Field Type instead of the text type, but when I select an entry from the suggestions, I receive an error message, telling me that the selected value is invalid, because it is not a valid option of the list.
Any hints on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx in advance,
Hans
