This article describes how to use placeholders in combination with SQL to populate the grid with data. Table Grid Next Generation supports placeholders to query Jira values.
| Excerpt | ||

| Get data from Jira objects and use them to populate the grid. |
Jira values can be used to initialize the grid with data, as dynamic options or as a default value in a grid column.
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
Check the list of the supported values that you can get from Jira objects.
