If no filter criteria is selected all issues logged in the JIRA project will be in scope for synchronization

Info
titleJQL Fragments

When using JQL fragments as part of your query criteria, the additional filter criteria you have selected will be added. ET already specifies the JIRA project in the filter parameters based on the project you are syncing your ET project with.

If you find that you the issues being synchronized are not what you expected, it is worth testing your JQL fragment in JIRA.

Date Picker

 

Date Time Picker

 

Global Rank

 

Group Picker (multiple groups) 

This field is not supported natively in ET so you will need to use either the copy or set value mapping types

Group Picker (single group) 

This field is not supported natively in ET so you will need to use either the copy or set value mapping types

Hidden Job Switch

 

Job Checkbox

 

Labels

 

Text Field (multi-line)

 

Select List (cascading)

ET does not have a cascading field to map this to. The only cascading field selected is copied from the defect tracker the "copy" mapping supports this field.

Text Field (read only)

 

Text Field (single line)

 

URL Field

 

User Picker (multiple users)

As there may be of many users in the picklist, this isn't is not suitable as a target for the "map" mapping type. The copy mapping could be used but the same username must exist in both ET and JIRA.

...

Another point to note when configuring your field mapping configuration for "Automap" or "Map" type mappings is that you may need at least one value in your JIRA picklist ( configurable set of allowable values)  for  for the field  (drop down list, checkbox list etc.) for the field to be detected as a configurable field for these mapping types.  After adding your value(s) to JIRA you may need to perform a refresh lookups before the field will be detected.

Tasks

In addition to synchronizing requirements and incidents between JIRA and ET you can also set up tasks to synchronize picklist field values.  A good example of when this would be useful are the fields Versions and Components.
