Overview
With Excel-like Tables for Jira, you can map any cell in a table with the Jira field, vice versa.
Read mapping: Copy the value of the Jira field into a specific cell.
Write mapping: Copy the value of a specific cell into the Jira field. For example, set the calculated results on the table to the Jira field.
