What is the easiest way to create a component list for a project using an existing database?

Daniel Pipe January 9, 2023

From my research it seems that using the REST API with scripts is one possible method. 

But I was wondering if there is an easier way to connect a project to a database to update its component list?

Hi @Daniel Pipe 

 

If you want to use Componenets you will need to created a peace of software that manage them, using REST API is a good solution.

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.2.4/#api/2/component-createComponent

 

If you do not want to use Components specificely you can use a customfield using a third party app that will use the db result as customfield option.

 

You can use apps such as:

  • Elements Connect
  • Scriptrunner For JIRA
  • Power Database Fields
