Turn Jira custom fields into live, contextual data that teams can trust

Agents get customer, asset and user data at their fingertips instead of searching across tools.

Reliable data, fewer input errors

Users pick values from a trusted source instead of typing them, so every work item starts with one source of truth.

Richer reporting and dashboards

Structured external data in custom fields makes Jira filters, reports, and dashboards more accurate and more useful.

No custom development

Jira admins connect data sources and configure fields themselves, without scripts or in-house integrations to maintain.

When data changes at the source, Jira follows. No more re-syncing spreadsheets or updating option lists by hand.
