Jira Mappings

Purpose

The Jira Mappings page in Business Central is used to link Jira issues, epics, or project keys with Business Central jobs and job tasks. This integration helps synchronize project management between Jira and Business Central, ensuring accurate tracking of work and financials.

Important Behavior

Jira issues can have parent issues (such as epics or higher-level tasks).
If the parent of a Jira issue has a mapping, then the Jira issue will automatically inherit the mapping of its parent.
This ensures consistency and reduces the need for duplicate mappings.

Page Overview

The page displays a list of mappings between Jira and Business Central entities. Each row represents a mapping record.

Columns:

  1. Issue/Epic/Project Key
    Represents the unique identifier from Jira (e.g., issue key, epic key, or project key).

  2. Description
    A text field for additional details about the mapping.

  3. Job No.
    The Business Central Project number associated with the Jira item.

  4. Job Task No.
    The Project Task that corresponds to the Jira item.

Actions Available

  • Import all Projects…Epics into Mappings
    Bulk import Jira projects and epics into the mapping list from the Jira table. This speeds up the process of assigning mappings.

Usage Scenario

  • When a Jira epic or issue needs to be linked to a Business Central job for cost tracking or reporting.
  • When importing multiple Jira items for integration with Business Central projects.
