Hey LG ,

 

Are you on Jira Server or Jira Cloud? I believe on Jira Server it would be possible to insert these options directly in the database as a workaround. I'm not sure for Cloud though....

    vepelizza,

     

    Thank you for the response. I've got this ".atlassian.net" in my JIRA URL, so I assume I'm on JIRA Cloud?

      Yes, that's Cloud indeed.

       

      I'm afraid there's no official way of doing this. You could open an idea on the ideas portal and see if your idea will get traction: https://zephyr-scale-cloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas

       

      Other than that, one non-official way of doing this would be to inspect the requests made when you add options to a data set via the UI and try to replicate them with different values.
