Summary
This article describes how to setup 'story type mappings' between Jira Align (JA) and Azure DevOps (ADO).
The steps below will show how to configure the ADO in JA to allow the ADO sync to create a story in JA when an issue is created in ADO.
Environment
Jira Align (JA) and Azure DevOps (ADO)
Solution
For example you want to map a work item of type 'issue' from ADO so that it can be mapped as a story in JA.
The steps in JA are:
Go to "Platform Settings-> Dropdown"
Create a story type with a custom value - for example 'fede_ado_issue', see image
Go to Connector → Azure DevOps settings
Search for the connector
Open the 'items' tab of the connector
Expand the story
In section 'story type mappings', add the mapping between the story type we called 'fede_ado_issue' above and the work item 'issue' in ADO.
These steps will allow the ADO sync to create a story in JA when an issue is created in ADO.
