Mapping Fields Between Crowdcontrol and Jira

You must map the fields between Crowdcontrol and Jira so that when a submission is pushed from Crowdcontrol, the submission information is properly updated in Jira. By default, the Title and Details fields in Crowdcontrol submission are mapped to Summary and Description fields in the Jira ticket, respectively.

Jira Markdown support: When Markdown fields from Crowdcontrol are pushed to Jira, they will convert to the respective markdown flavors to render appropriately.

You can map the following submission details to Jira:

  • Current submission state (example, Unresolved, Resolved)
  • Priority
  • Reward Amount
  • Reference Number
  • Description
  • HTTP Request
  • Chosen VRT Category
  • Bug URL
  • List of comments

The following image displays the comments in the Jira ticket.

  2. In Jira field column, select the Jira field that you want to map. Crowdcontrol uses an API to display all fields from your Jira project. jira-field

  3. In the Available field column, select the Crowdcontrol field that must be mapped to the Jira field.

    available-field

    The Available Fields column contains the following fields that you can choose:

    • Amount
    • Bug URL
    • Priority
    • Reference Number
    • Researcher Username
    • Substate
    • Title

    Crowdcontrol allows administrators to define custom submission fields at the program level. This means that you can add information specific to your organization on a per-submission basis. Custom fields are displayed as [Custom Field] (custom_field_name) in the Available Field drop-down menu. custom-field

  4. In the Set field column, select any of the following options for configuring how often Crowdcontrol field must synchronize with Jira field:
    • On Every Update: Each time a submission field is updated in Crowdcontrol, the updated information is pushed to Jira. The corresponding Jira field is overwritten and displays the changes.
    • Once: Crowdcontrol submission field’s data is synchronized with the Jira field when a Jira ticket is created and remains fixed regardless of the updates made within that field in Crowdcontrol.

    If automatic Jira ticket creation is enabled, then a Jira ticket is created after the submission transitions to the Unresolved status. If automatic Jira ticket creation is disabled, then you can push the Crowdcontrol submission upstream to Jira manually.

    set-field

    Overwriting Jira Ticket Fields: Any field configured to synchronize On Every Update is overwritten in Jira with the latest data from Crowdcontrol submission. If you update the Jira field, then this updated data is lost during synchronization.

  5. Click Add.
