Overview

Adding custom Jira fields to cards can help StoriesOnBoard meet the requirements of your existing Jira workflow. You may setup rules for certain fields you have in Jira and set default values for each one. Next time a new card is sent to Jira the fields of the created issue will also include those values you defined as custom field. Using custom fields is useful if you have a Jira workflow that requires a component or label to be set for each issue created. This way StoriesOnBoard can accommodate this.

How to setup custom Jira fields to issues

  1. open your story map

  2. visit "Settings"

  3. select "Integration settings"

  4. visit "Export" tab

  5. select "Add field"

  6. select "Flagged" and select value you that you have in Jira

  7. select "Labels" and enter value

  8. to confirm your settings click to "Save changes"

Please note the following:

  • We will read the list of available fields from your Jira account to help you.

  • You can also use Variables in Labels where Labels are separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons.

  • Variables will be replaced with their actual values when you send your cards to Jira and the issues are created.

  • Click on the "Trash-bin" icon to delete an unwanted entry.

  • The required fields for creating Jira issues will be added automatically and cannot be deleted.
