Configuring additional field mappings to the integration
After testing the integration between Jama Connect and Jira using the Name and Description fields, add additional field mappings to the Field Mappings page as needed.
As a minimum, we recommend adding these field mappings:
Jama Name ↔ Jira Summary
Jama Description ↔ Jira Description
Jama URL → Jira custom text field
Jama custom text field ← Jira URL
Jama Downstream Related Items → Jira Weblinks
Jama Upstream Related Items → Jira Weblinks
Note
If all data for the newly mapped field is currently stored in one system, set the directionality of that field so that data is flowing one-way from that source system to the destination system before running the first sync. You can change the directionality back to bidirectional after the first sync.
For detailed steps on configuring additional field mappings, see the section on adding a new field mapping to a Jira integration in Troubleshooting and FAQs.
