After you complete the steps from the Configuring Power Database Fields PROPRO™ page, configure the Data Table data table custom field following the steps below. You do that on the following pages:

• Database general configuration
• Datatable Custom Field configuration page

Database General Configuration

1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
2. Go to Administration > Add-ons >> DataTable Custom Field configuration page.
3. Configure the parameters on this page.
   1. Thread Local Caching
      If you are not fully aware of what this implies, we recommend that you leave the option as "false".
      Because multiple calls to get the value of a SIL Script Custom Field for a certain issue are inevitable, we implemented an option to generate the value only once per HTTP request. This improves performance, but might have certain side effects. For example, if the value is generated before certain other values that it depends on are modified, the result might not reflect latest updates.
   2. Custom Field
      Here you select the necessary custom field of the Data Table Information type, see example below.

   2. If you selected "SIL" for the Data Source field, type a script  in the SIL Script editor.
