Hello,

Quite a few groups have made use of the built-in customizability of the issues list. As you've probably seen, this includes the ability to rename the built-in fields, add a handful of custom fields, configure simple pick-lists, etc.

I'm not aware of any groups that have automated the population of the pick-list, or made them live-lookups to some other query or table in the server. This would be somewhat tricky, as the issues data entry user interface is custom and won't respect the kinds of query metadata that many other data types in the system can.

In terms of implementing something using the existing pick-list functionality, you may have noticed that the values are stored in the issues.issuekeywords list in the underlying database. This table isn't exposed directly through any APIs in the server - it would need to be updated through some direct mechanism.

Thanks,
Josh
