Behaviour of custom field Group Picker (single group)

[Martin Benavides]

Hi community,

I have tried to search any documentation regarding the behaviour of this custom field without any success.

I want to know how does this field behave in use. What difference make if this field is populated? 

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you want to link your own systems with JIRA then would Atlassian Connect (our Cloud add-on / integration framework) be a good fit for you? http://connect.atlassian.com/

Hi, Can I use the same add-on for both On Demand and On Premise JIRA instances?

If you mean "Can I install the same add-on into both my Cloud environment and Server environments?" then the answer is no.

But there is no reason that you could not write a single service that appears as an Atlassian Connect add-on (via a descriptor) and also talks to your Server instance.

You can join the two through a single service.

Hi, Thank you for your answers!

I not sure I follow. Is that what do you think I should do:

1. Create a descriptor file that calls my custom server (using webHooks)
2. Manually upload the descriptor file for server environments.
3. Upload the descriptor file to marketplace and use the add-on for cloud environments.
   
   I'm not sure what do you mean by a single service.
   Edit: I just tried to upload the descriptor to my server environment and if failed.
   Could you expand a bit on your solution? What do you mean in a single service that appears as add-on? and how do I use it in server envs? any docs about it?
   Thanks!

This is roughly what I had in mind:
