Rest Data Mapping Picklist

This is a modified version of the REST picklist plugin from Dedac: Dedac/RestDataMappingPicklist (github.com)

This modification hides the original label name of the decorated field.

Get REST data and pick from a type-ahead filtering picklist with the option to map additional data back to your work item.

Use this with the ServiceNow table api, or any other Rest API.

The rest data that is returned can be used to automatically update other fields in the work item. Use the field mapping configuration illustrated below to map fields from the rest service to field names in Azure DevOps

Sample Rest Response from which you want to extract a picklist.

{
    "page": 2,
    "per_page": 6,
    "total": 12,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 7,
            "email": "michael.lawson@reqres.in",
            "first_name": "Michael",
            "last_name": "Lawson",
        },
        {
            "id": 8,
            "email": "lindsay.ferguson@reqres.in",
            "first_name": "Lindsay",
            "last_name": "Ferguson",
        }
    ]
}

Sample Settigns for Calling this Service

• Rest Service Key Field email
• JSON Path to the Array data
• Rest Call URL parameters { "page":"2" }
• FieldMap { "Custom.ExternalUserId" : "id", "Custom.SelectedUser" : "first_name" }

'Custom.' are custom field names in Azure DevOps, use the fields names that you want data from the rest service mapped to.
