Note:

3. In the opened window set parameters for the following fields:

4. Click the "Create" button

Users can add multiple mapping configurations, edit and remove them.

Note: The resolution dropdown contains all resolution statuses in the current Jira project. Resolutions set in Favro mapping settings won't be applied to Jira issue resolution. Instead, the resolution will be changed according to resolution configurations set for each column in Jira.

After applying mapping configurations to the Favro board, users will be able to change card status on Favro and it will be automatically changed in Jira.

Note: To have mapping from Jira status to Favro status, you would need to set up automation inside Favro to have the status updated.

Jira status field will update automatically when you move cards in Jira. Automation would need to be set by this field as it changes and can be mapped. Here is an example of how you can set it up:

Mapping only applies for issue types mentioned in mapping settings (e.g. story type issue won't change its status in Jira if task issue type is set in mapping settings)

2. In the left menu select "Workflows" > Click the "View" button next to the project you need

3. Switch to the “Text” view > Copy Transition ID (numeric value in the brackets next to Jira column name)

3. Fill the following fields:

4. Click the "Confirm" button

After enabling automation settings, all cards created on the Favro board will be sent to Jira automatically with the mentioned parameters.

ATTENTION: Favro's Jira integration supports the following three card fields 'summary", "description" and "assignee" this ensures a more straightforward and streamlined integration process without the hassle of complex setups that break the integration whenever the configuration changes in Jira.

Users are able to edit automation settings by clicking on the “Edit Favro to Jira” button:

And can remove the automation by clicking on the “Remove” button from “Automation” modal:

3. Confirm disconnection by clicking “Disconnect from all boards” in the popup window

Disconnection applies to the entire organization. The integration disconnects each board in each collection. After disconnecting the Jira Integration, any changes made to a card are not synced until the integration is reconnected. After reconnection, all changes made in Jira without a connection will be synced to Favro.

3. Confirm filter disconnection by clicking on the “Remove” button in the confirmation window

After disconnecting the Jira filter all issues synced from the disconnected filter will be removed from the Favro board.

There are two options on how you can set permissions for Jira integration:

a) Allow only administrators to manage the connection to Jira in the whole organization, you can find more on that in this article: Jira integration control for Enterprise organizations.

b) Administrator Allow/Disallow members to configure Jira integration on specific boards.

To edit permissions:

If "Members can configure this board" is toggled on, all Members have permissions to connect, disconnect and configure Jira Integration. Otherwise, only administrators have permission to configure the Jira Integration on that board.

If the Jira Integration is connected to more than one board only Admin users have permission to disconnect the Jira Integration.
