PROBLEM:

One critical feature/functionality that is missing in JIRA is the ability to define a custom field based on a JQL. This is useful to seamlessly integrate different projects/processes within JIRA.

Example: A select-field (or auto-complete, etc.) that its values are based on the issues from Project X with Status Y (this is defined via a JQL).

Workaround:

There are two primary plugins for this purpose. Each of these have certain deficiencies and are not reliable.

• Query Issues Custom Fields
• JQL Issue Select

SUGESSTION:

It would be great if this feature becomes native in JIRA.
