Text fields of single-line type do not support markdown, so bolded text, tables, attachments, etc. won’t work. When you are trying to synchronize a multi-line text field to a single line text field, you may receive unexpected results in the form of an unformatted text.
If you choose not to map the Reporter field, it’s value will be automatically populated with Issue Sync’s Technical User.
The Text Field name is variable. By accessing Settings> Issues> Custom fields the configuration of text fields can be found under the following names: Paragraph (supports rich text) and Short text (plain text only).
If a field type or direction of your desire is missing, feel free to let us know about it by raising a support request.
You can add a sprint field to a project that doesn’t support it, for example, a Kanban project, if you have administrative permissions. In that case, mapping the sprint field is possible only to the Jira that supports this field type. The mapping in the other direction won’t happen. Also, there wil be no information in the synchronization history either.
Fields available in the mapping configuration are returned from the Create Issue screen.
The fields should be also present on the Edit Issue screen, so the plugin could edit those - otherwise, the fields won’t be updated, and if the mentioned fields are required this may result in a failure during the issue creation.
When mapping to a field with a defined value (Single and Multiselect fields, User pickers, Version, etc):
If you can’t find the answer you need in our documentation, raise a support request.
