Configure Jira Cloud Connector

In this tutorial, we'll cover configuring the Jira Cloud Connector.

Step 1 - Add Jira Connector

• Navigate to Management → Connectors.
• Click Add Connection and select one of the following options based on your needs:
  • JIRA Cloud - Tests (for test-related imports/exports)
  • JIRA Cloud - Requirements (for requirement-related imports/exports)

Step 2 - Configure Jira Connector Credentials

Once the connector is added, navigate to the Connection tab and enter the following details:

• URL: The URL of your Jira instance.
  • Example: https://curiositydemo.atlassian.net/
• Username: Your Jira account username.
• API Key: The API key associated with your Jira workspace.
  • Refer to Atlassian’s documentation for instructions on generating an API key.
• Project Key: This field populates automatically after entering your credentials. Select the Jira project you want to import from or export to.
• Issue Type: This field also populates automatically after entering your credentials. Select the Jira issue type you want to import from or export to.

Step 3: Configure Field Mappings

1. Open the Field Mappings tab.
2. Select the Export Type. Available Jira issue types include:
   • Master Story
   • Sub-Tasks
   • Separate Tickets

Once an issue type is selected, the following fields can be mapped:

• Attribute: The name of the Jira attribute.
• Internal Name: The internal Jira object name.
• Built-In: Indicates whether the value is predefined.
• Mapped Value: The corresponding mapped value for the attribute.

Synchronizing Fields

A Synchronize button is available on the right-hand side. Clicking this button retrieves all issue fields from the selected Jira project and issue type, automatically updating the connector with the latest field data.

There is also a Synchronize button on the right hand side that allows users to pull all issue fields from the specific Jira project and issue type into the connector.
