How to create system generated field in jira

[Hema TB]

I want to create one system generated field in jira called "city". which will extract data from AD based on the reporter of the issue. If the reporter of the issue stays in Mumbai then the field city will get updated automatically as Mumbai

Hello @Hema TB

You can create "custom" fields in Jira instead of system fields. The fields can be of several types like select list, text box, multi-select etc.

You have to do some customization in order to implement your requirement, I would suggest you to take a look at the nFeed plugin which is meant of these purposes.

"Query data from a SQL database, an Active Directory, a REST API or your local Jira. Display updated results in Jira custom fields"

Hi,

You will have to know programming and create your own plugin to do so.

Or maybe you will be able to do it with ScriptRunner, but still you will have to know how to code
