Write Field Mapping now supports Assignee, Single User, Multiple Users, Priority, Select, Radio, User, and Labels fields, in addition to what it already handled.
The mapping direction and setup are the same as before: Right-click a cell, choose Jira Field Mapping, pick Cell to Field; the difference is what’s on the list of fields you can target.
Picture a program manager running a lightweight capacity formula: a column that counts each teammate’s open issues, and a second column that returns whoever has the lightest load.
Before, that second column was just a name sitting in a spreadsheet cell, useful to look at, useless to act on automatically. Now that column can map straight to the Assignee field, so the issue gets routed the moment the formula recalculates. The same pattern works for auto-setting Priority from a risk score, or applying Labels based on a rule the table already evaluates.
For the full list of supported field types and how to set up a mapping, see Jira Field Mapping in the docs.
