The TFS4JIRA Synchronizer can synchronize multiple JIRA Jira status values to one TFS / VSTS state or multiple TFS / VSTS states to one JIRA Jira status. This gives more flexibility in the way states are handled. For example, you can map TFS / VSTS states Done
and Closed
to a single Done
JIRA Jira status.
To map multiple TFS / VSTS states to one JIRA Jira state, first select a state in TFS Values listbox and then click Add selected value link (see screenshot below).
You can do the same in the opposite (TFS / VSTS to JIRAJira) direction.
When multiple states are mapped, it is important to be able to determine what happens during the synchronization in the opposite direction - for example, if you map states Closed
and Done
in TFS / VSTS to Done
in JIRAJira, what is going to happen if you have TFS / VSST → JIRA Jira synchronization enabled and there is a JIRA Jira issue to be synchronized with status Done
? In this scenario, theDefault state from the mapping of TFS / VSTS value is used (the default value is set in bold). You can select which value is set as default by clicking set as default link (see screenshot below)
