The second step in configuring a connected item consists in setting up how the data retrieved from an external source will be displayed in your Jira issue.
Template
This section lets you define how the query result is formatted before being displayed.
The values of connected items fields are generated in two steps:
-
a query is made to the external data source, which retrieves a result set
-
a template is then applied to the result set
The output of this template depends on the custom field type, it can be a list of options for select lists, or a text string for read-only items.
Template syntax by field type
For select lists (single or multi-value), reference each row's properties with row:
${row.name}
For read-only fields, reference the retrieved data with data:
${data.name}
