Dependencies using the current user

It may be useful to display data related to the logged-in user. To do that, you can reference current user attributes in a Custom field query.

The $currentUser variable is available and exposes 5 attributes:

Type	Name	Description	Example
String	displayName	Returns a string which corresponds to the logged-in user display name	$currentUser.displayName > "John Doe"
String	emailAddress	Returns a string which corresponds to the logged-in user email address	$currentUser.emailAddress > "john.doe@elements-apps.com"
String	`accountId`	Returns a unique identifier which corresponds to the logged-in user Atlassian account ID	$currentUser.accountId > "8878ccae-33566-3e50-b27a"
String	`locale`	Returns a string which corresponds to the logged-in user locale	$currentUser.locale > "fr_FR"
String	`timeZone`	Returns a string which corresponds to the logged-in user timezone	$currentUser.timeZone > "Europe/Berlin"

If we go back to our previous example, we could highly simplify the process by only configuring one custom field, based on the logged-in user:

Considering each car is linked to its owner in the data source, we can configure the following request:

CODE

SELECT model
FROM car_models
WHERE car_owner ='$currentUser.emailAddress'

Only cars from the logged-in user will be available as options of the custom field
