Edit Custom Field Contexts
With the latest version of Configuration Manager, you can change the default deployment options for custom field contexts. Full documentation
When a modification in a custom field’s contexts (context added or existing context changed) is detected during configuration snapshot deployment, you can change the default matching between source and target contexts using a new EDIT FIELD CONTEXTS button.
Configuration Manager offers you to choose between the following context editing options:
merge source context with different target context
deploy context as new on target
merge source context with its matching target context
App Integrations
Apps in the Jira ecosystem can integrate with Configuration Manager. The integrations allow you to move and migrate app configurations between Jira instances automatically. Full documentation
Monitor app integrations
If you have apps which integrate with Configuration Manager, you can view their integration types and the state of each integration on the App Integrations page.
Migrate global data of apps
As part of the App Integrations functionality, you can export and import the global data of the apps on your Jira which have integration with Configuration Manager. During a configuration snapshot creation, you can choose to export the global data of selected apps. Full documentation
