Note: the import process will not find any Issues to import, unless those Issue Types have been mapped to a Team Type in TeamForm. |
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 not recommended to map Jira Tasks, Bugs, Stories as they are not a helpful granularity of work to display in TeamForm. |

Grouping by Custom Field
Some organisations use a Custom Field to define a higher level strategy or work item that Jira issues contribute to, or are grouped under. These might be called Strategic Goals, Themes or Objectives (or any other term used to define higher level work). You can configure the TeamForm for Jira app to recognise custom fields so that links between these and Jira issues are visible in TeamForm.
You can learn how to create a Custom Field here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/create-a-custom-field/
Only Single Select and Multi Select drop-down Field Types are supported.
Once you have set up your Custom Field, go to the Jira Admin page, and head to the Custom Fields section.
Click Expand.
Select, or type to search, from the drop-down list as many Custom Fields you wish to use - most people just use one.
Click Submit - you should receive a message saying your changes have been submitted.

That’s it! Now, the plugin will import each assigned value of this Custom Field, when it imports Issues across to TeamForm. The value will then be used to group all Issues under that value. |
