FAQs for Jira
When I import multi-select fields from Jira (such as Sprint or Comments), the data appears as JSON values rather than readable text. How can I separate these values?
Now, you can separate values with our Nested JSON Field Expansion feature. This lets you expand and flatten nested JSON fields within your Coefficient imports, allowing you to display the data in a single cell as a comma-separated list or split across multiple rows for more accessible analysis.
