At this stage, specify the source from which the data will be transferred:

Assignee:

Important Note:

If the assignee information in a text attribute does not correspond to a valid Jira username or user key, it will not be transferred and will be ignored during the update process.

  1. Choose Jira User Picker (Assignee) if the assignee data is currently held in a user picker field.

  2. Optionally, select By Another Text Attribute if your assignee information is stored in a text attribute.

Ensure the correct data source is selected for a smooth transition.

Status:

For Status, this section won't be applicable. You'll define the mapping between your custom list box options and the system fields (Status and Substatus) in Step 4.
