What are Object Registers and how to use them?

Object Registers are a feature of the Risk Manager Plus Cloud that allows you to create custom data structures (i.e. data tables) and link these structures to Jira issues like you would link other issues. Custom data structures are like database tables that you can build inside the Risk Manager Plus Cloud application. When these registers are filled with data you can link Jira issues with the data objects. In other words, the object registers are like complex customisable dropdown lists you can use as Jira issue fields
