Change the Reporter and Assignee of an issue

This page helps you configure the mappings to allow Connector for Salesforce to assign a different user to a created issue.

Guide

Go to Settings > Apps, and then in the sidebar, under Connector for Salesforce, choose Bindings.
Choose your desired Bindings, then click Mapping.

On the Mapping Configuration screen, choose the Issue Type you want to configure.
For this example, let's choose Task.
Click Mappings.
The Task to Case field mappings dialog box appears.
In the Jira Field, choose Reporter, and in the Salesforce Field, choose Owner ID.
Click + Add.
Once you've clicked the + Add button, click Configure.
Select a Jira default and Salesforce default value for unmapped reporters and assignees.
For detailed instructions, see Set default value.
In Reporter field, add the username of the account you want to add.
For the Salesforce Fields Value, you are required to obtain an 18-character Owner ID.
To get this, write down your 15-character User ID from your Salesforce profile URL:
Use this tool to make the conversion of the User ID.
Copy the converted ID, paste it under the Owner ID column, click + Add, then click Save.
In Salesforce, create a new case assigned to the designated owner, where the Owner in Salesforce is using the admin username that has already been mapped in Jira.
Create a Jira Issue from Salesforce.
Back in Jira, you should now be able to see the admin user instead of "Salesforce & Jira Cloud Connector" as the Reporter.
Go to Salesforce and change the Case Owner to change the case's owner to ensure the add-on can synchronize with the Reporter field.
Go back to Jira and Pull the updated changes made in Salesforce.
You should now be able to see the new changes.
The user must be manually mapped as well.
