XML / JSON Multi Request Custom Field obtains values from an XML / JSON response via XPath / JSONPath. This enables you to retrieve end-user data from external systems and display it on a support ticket.

  2. Select XML / JSON Multi Request Custom Field, and click Next.




  3. Give a name and description to your field, and click Create. 
  4. Check Issue screens that you want your field to be reflected in, and click Update.
  5. To configure a created custom field, go to the cog wheel menu and click Configure.



  6. Configure the default value. 
  7. To configure custom field settings, click Edit XML/JSON HTTP Settings.



  8. Configure the parameters as described in the table below. The following picture shows an example of how you can configure the fields.



  9. To finish configuration click Save. Your configuration is ready.
