    1. They will appear as Objectives of the linked TeamForm Team.

    2. They are only imported if their Issue Type has been Included (see below)

  2. Direct linking: When you link an Issue to a Team, only that Issue is imported as an Objective. No Child Issues are imported.

Importing Jira Issues

...

into TeamForm

...

Info

This process can only be completed by a Jira Admin.

  1. On the Admin Page of the TeamForm for Jira Marketplace App, click the Reveal button to show a secret URL and Key.

  2. Select which Issue Types you would like to include in the Import, by using the Included column. Click Excluded on the Issue Type you wish to import, to toggle it to Included.

...

  1. Log into your TeamForm instance, and navigate to the ‘Data Integrations’ Settings Page.

  2. Click Create on ‘New Integration’. New Integration

  3. Select ‘Atlassian Atlassian Jira'.

  4. Click Create datasource.

  5. Paste the Key and URL revealed earlier into the relevant fields.

  6. Click ‘Update’.

  7. Optional: Configure a schedule for the Integration. This determines how often the data in Jira is automatically imported into TeamForm. For example, to import every 2 hours, use the frequency of 7200 seconds.

The Datasource can now reach out to the Jira plugin, and import any Issue of a Type that has been mapped to a Team Type in TeamForm.

Note

Note: the import process will not find any Issues to import, unless those Issue Types have been mapped to a Team Type in TeamForm. See the relevant section of this document for details.

Note

The import process will import all Issues of mapped Types into TeamForm. This includes Issues in the past.

Be sure this is what you want before creating a mapping from an Issue Type to a Team Type.

In particular, it is probably unsafe to create a mapping from Jira Tasks if there are a large amount of Tasks already in Jira.not recommended to map Jira Tasks, Bugs, Stories as they are not a helpful granularity of work to display in TeamForm.

Tip

Excellent! You have now configured TeamForm to import Projects and Issues from Jira, using the Atlassian TeamForm Integration.
