Portal Fields are dynamic form fields that you can insert into Request Types. This can be used to fetch data from your connected providers.
For example, in larger organizations, employees often need to be added to a Google Group.
Using Portal Fields, you can add a list of Google groups to a Jira Service Management request. You can then pass their values into Multiplier's post functions to automate group assignment.

Some portal fields are now configurable! For instance, Group Selection Portal Fields now allow you to specify prefixes, so you can segregate groups by names, a common practice in IT.
