Autosearch
What does this do? - This searches Autosearch triggers the search to occur automatically as soon as you open the user opens the Search dialog , using the values that are already on the field. So it saves you a click on the Search button. I think Radu has something more in mind regarding this once we add the Autocomplete DBCF field.
Refresh type
The Advanced Database Row Field has the option to refresh the data from the source database. This means that if the data is updated in the database it can also be changed in Jira, if that is the desired behavior. Or, it can be set to never update the data in Jira once the options are established from the database. The available options are:
...
Set - Users are allowed to set a value for the field in Jira. – is this right? It does not seem right… - as Radu said in the meeting, this is about right. If nothing is specified here, it will just set the Jira value to the value from the DB.
Insert - User can enter a new value in Jira nd the data will be added into the connected database table.
...
DYNAMIC - A script can be used to determine if specific permissions are given. The scripts can take a variety of inputs from issue or Jira environment so the script can accommodate many special conditions. See Writing Security Scripts for more information.
