   Note: If you select a Test IO Product, all the bugs associated with that Product will be exported to the selected Jira Project.

   

3. Issue Type & Fields Mapping Tab:

   • In the “Issue type” field, select the specific type that will be applied to Jira tickets when accepting Test IO bugs and creating the associated Jira tickets. This is usually the Bug issue type, but it could be different depending on the project configuration. Please note, that your Jira Data Center (Server) instance could have multiple Bug issue definitions, please ensure you select the appropriate one.​

     

   • Map specific Test IO fields to Jira fields to ensure that Test IO bug details are accurately represented in Jira after accepting that bug and creating the associated Jira ticket. Available mappings include:

     • Test IO bug Severity → Jira issue field
       Choose a Jira issue field that best fits your use case. For example, you might decide to map the Test IO bug Severity to the Jira ticket Priority field. This mapping will allow the Severity value from Test IO to be displayed in the Jira ticket's Priority field once the Test IO bug is accepted and the Jira ticket is created.

       If you need to start over or make changes to your mappings, simply click the "Clear Severity Mapping" button. This will reset all mappings, allowing you to configure them from scratch.

       

     • Jira issue Reporter → Existing Jira user
