Connection Settings

Enable or disable the Connection Settings options:

Allow Modification

If disabled, the connection will be in read-only mode. This setting has the highest precedence and overrides other settings.

Disable this setting if you need to immediately stop any synchronization.

Allow Automatic Push

If disabled, the auto push is not allowed to function in all current and new associations.

If enabled, the auto push is allowed to function in all current and new associations.

Allow Automatic Pull

If disabled, the auto pull is not allowed to function in all current and new associations.

If enabled, the auto pull is allowed to function in all current and new associations. Apex trigger must be configured for the associated object type.

Salesforce Auto Assign

If enabled, active assignment rules will be used when creating or updating Case and Lead objects.

Attachment Settings

For more information about file attachments, view Working with attachments.

Synchronize Attachments

If enabled, files attached to associated issues and Salesforce objects will be synchronized.

Create Salesforce Attachment as Files

If enabled, files will be uploaded as Salesforce files, not attachments. Requires Synchronize Attachments to be Enabled.

This setting is recommended if you use Salesforce Lightning.

Comments & Chatter Settings

Comment Privacy

Determines visible Salesforce Case comments based on their privacy.

Available Options: All Comments, Public Comments Only, Private Comments Only.

Comment Tag Filter

Separate each tag in the list by a space to filter Salesforce comments (e.g. '#Jira #Jira-service-management').

If configured, only Salesforce comments with at least one of the tags in their body will be displayed.

Show Chatter Feeds

If enabled, Chatter feeds will be shown in the Salesforce Comments tab.

For more information, see Working with comments.

With Lightning Experience, the way you can view Chatter feeds is different, read for more information.

Query Optimization

Optimize the association JQL query

If enabled, this option can help improve performance by fine-tuning the JQL query that retrieves Salesforce and Jira associations, where it will be limited to projects with active binding. This option is disabled by default because the issue usually only affects projects with a very large number of Jira issues (around 5,000 or more).

Default Presets

These settings allow admins to set defaults for what happens when a user creates or associates a Jira Issue/Salesforce Object.

Force All Presets

Enabling this will allow admins to force all the presets that have been set below, both inside Jira and Salesforce. This will also completely hide the presets from being shown to users when they create or associate a JIRA Issue/Salesforce Object.

View Only

If enabled, new associations will be set to View Only by default when users create or associate a Jira Issue/Salesforce Object.

Automatic Push

If enabled, new associations will be set to Automatic Push by default when users create or associate a Jira Issue/Salesforce Object.

Automatic Pull

If enabled, new associations will be set to Automatic Pull by default when users create or associate a Jira Issue/Salesforce Object.

After Associating

Admins can set the default action that happens immediately after an association.

Available Values:

  • Do nothing

  • Push to Salesforce

  • Pull from Salesforce

  • Push to Salesforce then Pull from Salesforce
