This article describes how to use placeholders in combination with SQL to specify a data source for a grid.  Table Grid Next Generation supports placeholders to query Jira values.

Jira values can be used to populate the grid with data from Jira objects.

You can query the values from the following Jira-specific objects: issue, project, component, user and custom fields.

For example, you can populate the grid column with a default value retrieved from Jira object. 

You can use Jira values to populate the grid with data in different cases:

• initialize grid with data 
• set default values for gird columns
• populate select lists with dynamic options retrieved from Jira
• use custom field values in a grid: get data from a custom field which has a list of values and populate a grid with these values.

Supported values
