The TFS4JIRA Synchronizer can synchronize multiple JIRA Jira status values to one TFS / Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) state or multiple TFS / Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) states to one JIRA Jira status. This gives more flexibility in the way states are handled. For example, you can map TFS / Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) states Done
and Closed
to a single Done
JIRA Jira status.
To map multiple TFS / Azure DevOps (formerly 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 / Azure DevOps (formerly 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 / Azure DevOps (formerly 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 / Azure DevOps (formerly 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)
