This toggle switch will NOT stop the App from updating Jira values. It only prevents you from changing the start/end date in the App when it cannot be properly reflected in Jira. |
When fields mapped as start/end date When a field isn't available for a Jira issue, you can't edit it in BigPicture.

Even when mapped fields cannot be updated by the App (because they haven't been added to the project's Jira screen scheme), you can 't change the start/end date in the App. If a field doesn't exist in your Jira project, the App cannot perform still edit them in BigPicture. The bi-directional sync and blocks you from changing the start/end date. You can't move a task on the Gantt timeline because the App can't update Jira field values to reflect start/end date changes.
When setup is complete (the fields selected for start/end date mapping exist in a Jira project), the App can perform bi-directional sync without problems. The fields mapped as start/end dates are updated accordingly.
