What is a data source field in Assets?

Assets has moved to platform! That means it is now accessible from any Jira app directly through the app switcher.. What Assets is and how it works.

When importing data from a data source into Assets, a data source field (formerly called a data locator) is a unique piece of data from the source file that identifies a single object and its attributes.

The data source field will be formatted differently depending on what kind of data source you are using:

  • A CSV file must have a string as the data source field. The default data source field for a CSV file is the first entry in a row of data, which would correspond to the header row in a table format, such as Excel or Google Sheets.

  • A JSON file must have a data source field in the form of a JSON array, such as items.item or json.data.systems.
