Mappings with certain objects (currently we support Cases and Ideas), the Automatically push new comments option becomes available.

Jira to Salesforce or not:

• Enabled: all new comments on the

• Jira issue are created as a new comment in Salesforce in the related Case/Idea.
• Disabled: new comments will not be created in Salesforce.

You can toggle this option by:

1. Accessing the Field Mapping Interface
2. Click Settings.
3. Click on the button next to the Automatically push new comments to Remote System setting to enable or disable.

The Automatically pull new comments from Remote System is only available for Cases and Ideas

Mapping.

This setting is used to instruct the add-on to copy a Salesforce Case/Idea comments to

Jira Issue or not:

• Enabled - all comments on the Case/Idea will copy and sync to

• Jira Issue.
• Disabled - no comments will copy to

• Jira issue.

This setting applies when using create endpoint or synchronize endpoint from Salesforce for Case/Idea Objects or using Pull Changes in More > Manage Application Link from

Pulling

comments from Remote System

This setting allows you to control what comments are pulled from Salesforce to

Jira:

1. All - All comment will sync from Salesforce
2. Private only - Only private comment will sync to

1. Jira issues
2. Public only - Only public comment will sync to

1. Jira issues

 Image Modified

Note

Prior to version 5.3.6, all comments (whether public or private) were synchronized by default.

As a consequence, if you change the Pull comments from Remote System settings in this situation, all comments made prior to updating to version 5.3.6 will still be viewable.

Also, do take note that in situations where you have enabled the Public only option and synchronized your

Jira instance with Salesforce, and then changed the setting to Private only, all public comments will still be viewable.

Anchor
RemoteSystemComments RemoteSystemComments

Allow updates on comments originated from Remote System

Which comments are affected by this setting?

When a

Jira issue is created from Salesforce, all existing comments from Salesforce are copied into

Jira and added with a label, for example:

This comment was made by John Doe on Wed Jun 29 16:15:06 PST 2016 from Salesforce

• Disabled - Any edits made to these comments within

• Jira will not be reflected in Salesforce upon the next synchronization.
• Enabled - Any edits made to these comments within

• Jira will be reflected in Salesforce upon the next synchronization.

The Connector will automatically trigger the update to include every new comment made in a

Jira issue to a Salesforce Object.

Image Modified

This option is to control this scenario for

Jira Issues that are associated with multiple records of Salesforce Objects:

• Enabled - all comments on the Case/Idea will push to Salesforce Case/Idea automatically.
• Disabled - no comments will be pushed to Salesforce.

The comment can also be pushed manually. Refer: Pushing a comment from

Jira to Salesforce

OptimizeQuery OptimizeQuery

Optimizing Query to Remote System (Only

query fields mapped, limited details sent to Jira)

 You will need to restart the Jira instance after reenabling this feature.

The Connector is using Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) internally. It will generate a script to query the record of a Salesforce Object.

Image Modified

This option may impact performance of the instance. The following settings are available:

• Enabled - Only query the mapped fields and limited details sent to

• Jira. The Connector performance will be better but you won't be able to modify the field template.
• Disabled - Performance will be slow for Salesforce Objects with a lot of fields.

Anchor

Synchronizing

attachments from Remote System (

This will turn off the "Remote Attachment Tab" when enabled.)

The Connector only supports attachment synchronization from Salesforce Cases to

Jira Issues.

Image Modified

The configurable options are as follows:

• Enabled - This will remove the "Remote Attachment Tab" and the attachment will become a

• Jira attachment. It will also make a previously hidden setting, Synchronize files from Remote System, become visible.
• Disabled - This will render a list of attachments. Salesforce credentials are required to view/download the attachments.
