The TFS4JIRA Synchronizer is able to synchronize TFS / VSTS "Tree path" fields (i.e. "area paths" and "iteration paths") using specialized synchronization methods.
Three modes of synchronization are available, as shown in screenshot below:
- Copy full TFS tree path copies the whole path from TFS / VSTS field to JIRA field. JIRA field should be of "Text" type
- Copy last part of TFS tree path copies just the last part of the path (after the last
"\"character). This can be used to automatically synchronize TFS / VSTS sprints to JIRA versions, provided that JIRA version names are the same as TFS sprint names - Map values can be used for versatile mapping of TFS / VSTS tree paths to any of the JIRA "mappable" type. This will typically be used to map TFS / VSTS iteration path to JIRA sprints and TFS / VSTS are apaths to JIRA components, but it can also be used to map TFS / VSTS sprints to JIRA versions or to any other "mappable" field. In case of mapping of sprints, TFS / VSTS workitems with no iteration path will be synchronized to JIRA issues not assigned to any sprint. JIRA issues from the backlog (without a sprint assigned) will be synchronized to TFS / VSTS work items with iteration path set to the root of the tree path.
