This datasource type does not require any configuration. Any Atlassian application app-linked to Jira will automatically be available as an Elements Connect datasource.
We won't cover the configuration of application links in this documentation. If you need help in the configuration of an app-link, we can only recommend you have a look at Atlassian documentation
