Data Sources
Discover ways to use external data in your Jira issues
You need the Jira Administrators global permission to configure Data Sources.
Overview
Data Sources is an extension of the Bundled Fields feature. It allows you to import data from external sources (such as JSON files) to Jira and display it in issues as Bundled Fields subfields.
You can use Data Sources in two ways: as Autofill and for Synchronizing options.
Autofill
With Autofill you can display external data in two kinds of subfields:
- Text Field (single line)
- Text Field (multi-line)
Fields configured this way are always in sync with the data source, so any changes made to your external file will be reflected in issues.
An example of this kind of configuration is shown in chapters Adding Data Sources and Connecting Data Sources.
Synchronize options
The Synchronize options feature allows for using objects from JSON collections as options in Jira select lists. Supported subfield type:
- Select list (single choice)
With this option you have more control over the synchronization that can be automatic, initited manually, or disabled entirely.
Exemplary configuration is shown in the Synchronizing options chapter.
Next steps
