# 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](https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/) 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.
