Custom Fields That Load Values Over REST

[jamiewastin]

I would like to add a custom field akin to "Select List (Single Choice)"; this would render a combobox that allows the user to select a single value.

Rather than specifying the values that are supported manually, I would like the custom field to retrieve them via a REST call that returns a JSON array, for example:

[ "Type1", "Type2", "Type3" ]

I couldn't find any plugins from the Atlassian store that would help with this. Is there something that I am missing?

I concede that I could write an external application that could push the field options via the REST API on a periodic basis; but that seems to be introducing more complexity to the solution.

This strikes me as a common use-case that others must have solved?

Look at the plugin called NFeed

or Power Custom Fields PRO
