Jama Connect Interchange Help

System and generated fields

Using Jama Connect Interchange, you can map a variety of systems and generated fields.

Jama Connect

Examples of Jama Connect system and generated fields include the following.

Jama Set ID — The Jama Set ID identifies the set or container to which an item belongs. To map the Jama Set ID, open the Field Mappings page and select Jama Set ID – Text (read only) in the left drop-down list. Typically, you map this field to a custom text field (type = short text) in Jira. The Jama Set ID can also be mapped for Excel Functions integrations.

Jama URL — The URL for the Jama Connect item can be written to a text field type in the Jira item. A user in Jira can then easily identify and access the linked Jama Connect item.

Version History — The Version History fields list the changes made to a Jama Connect item. This information can be written to a text field in the Jira item. The two types of Version History fields are:

  • Version History (Since last Sync) — The integration reads any changes made to the item since the last sync.

  • Version History (All) — The integration reads any changes made to the item since its initial creation.

    Note

    The Version History fields are available only with the Excel Functions integration.

Constant — Use the Constant field to write a static value from Jama Connect to Jira. For more information on how to use this field, see Required fields exist in other system.

Jama Tags — Supports bidirectional syncing to Jira labels, single-select, multi-select, and text fields.

Jira

Examples of Jira system and generated fields include the following.

Jira URL — The URL for the Jira item can be written to a text or URL field type in the Jama Connect item. A user in Jama Connect can then easily identify and access the linked Jira item.

Jira Key — The Jira item’s key (ID) can be mapped one-way to a field in the Jama Connect item.

Jira Epic/Parent — The name of the Jira item’s Epic or Parent can be mapped one-way to a field in the Jama Connect item. In the Field Mappings picklist, this option is called Parent – Text.

Constant — Use the Constant field to write a static value from Jira to Jama Connect. For more information on how to use this field, see Required fields exist in other system.
