As in summary, if two updates happen around the same time in ADO (let's say, description is updated) and Jira (let's same summary is updated) I want Exalate to make sure that both sides have the latest summary and latest description.
I also want to make it that if description is modified on Jira first and a couple of seconds after that it is modified on ADO, both sides see the description from ADO. And visa-versa: if description is modified on ADO first and then in a couple of seconds, it is modified on Jira, I want both sides to see description from Jira.

      Hello there!
      One way to achieve that would be to use the changeHistory available on Jira and ADO to know, which side modified which field, when to be able to compare them and choose the latest version (either accept the change on the field or reject it).
      Here's a video of how it works if configured properly:



      And here's the (full) configuration used for this video:

          }
      }
      
      

      Let's dive into the details to figure out how to adapt this and add other fields to this conflict handling script.


      Sending change history

      If we look closer to the outgoing scripts on both ends:


      JiraADO
      Out

      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      replica.changeHistory = issue.changeHistory
      ...
      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      ...
      def result = await(...
              .url(baseUrl+"/${project}/_apis/wit/workItems/${workItem.id}/updates?api-version=5.0")
              ...
              .withMethod("GET")
              ...)
      ...
      workItem.changeHistory = ...
      
      
      def fieldToLastUpdateDateFn = { exalateUserKey -> { history ->
          ...
      }}
      
      replica.customKeys."fieldToLastUpdateDate" = fieldToLastUpdateDateFn("exalate")(workItem.changeHistory)

      we calculate the issue.changeHistory and workItem.changeHistory
      On Jira it comes pretty much out of the box

      On ADO it's a bit more complicated:

      1. we make a REST API request to ADO:
        GET /${project}/_apis/wit/workItems/${workItem.id}/updates?api-version=5.0
      2. results of which we convert into workItem.changeHistory
      3. and then we use the fieldToLastUpdateDateFn to convert the change history into a simplified version of the change history
      4. send simplified version of change history from ADO to Jira in a custom key called replica.customKeys."fieldToLastUpdateDate"


      Using the remote change history when receiving changes

      So the most important part of the entire configuration here is that instead of doing


      JiraADO
      ​In

      ...
      issue.summary      = replica.summary
      issue.description  = replica.description
      ... 
      ...
      workItem.summary      = replica.summary
      workItem.description  = replica.description
      ...

      we do a more sophisticated check for change histories


      JiraADO
      ​In

      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      ...
      if (firstSync) {
          issue.summary      = replica.summary
          issue.description  = replica.description
      } else {
          ...
          if (remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate."System.Description" > localFieldToLastUpdateDate."description") {
              issue.description = replica.description
          }
          if (remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate."System.Title" > localFieldToLastUpdateDate."summary") {
              issue.summary = replica.summary
          }
      }
      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      if (firstSync) {
          workItem.summary      = replica.summary
          workItem.description  = replica.description
      } else {
          ...
          if (remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate."description" > localFieldToLastUpdateDate."System.Description") {
              workItem.description = replica.description
          }
          if (remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate."summary" > localFieldToLastUpdateDate."System.Title") {
              issue.summary = replica.summary
          }
      }

      Note, how we read the names of fields from the history records of ADO "System.Description" for description and "System.Title" for summary.


      please, also note that if you wanted to add conflict handling for other fields, like status, you'd need to make the following replacements:


      JiraADO
      ​In

      ...def statusMapping = [
        "To Do":"Open",
        "Doing" : "In Progress",
        "Done" : "Closed"
      ]issue.setStatus(statusMapping[replica.status.name])

      ...
      
      def statusMapping = [
        "Open":"To Do",
        "In Progress" : "Doing",
        "Closed" : "Done"
      ]
      
      workItem.setStatus(statusMapping[replica.status.name])

      would be replaced with


      JiraADO
      ​In

      ...def statusMapping = [
        "To Do":"Open",
        "Doing" : "In Progress",
        "Done" : "Closed"
      ]if (firstSync) {
      ...
      issue.setStatus(statusMapping[replica.status.name])
      } else {
      ...
      if (remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate."System.State" > localFieldToLastUpdateDate."status") {
      issue.setStatus(statusMapping[replica.status.name])
      }

      A note about time

      In my environments, there's a 3h difference between how Jira Cloud and ADO report changeHistory dates:

      in Jira Cloud all the dates seem to be matching my Jira's time zone (EEST), while ADO reports everything in UTC.

      So if I make changes on Jira at 12 AM GMT and in ADO at 12:00:02 AM GMT (2 seconds apart from one-another ) Jira would report 3:00:00 and ADO 0:00:02 

      To accomodate for that, I made it that the incoming scripts add 3 hours to ADO:


      JiraADO
      ​In
      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      ...
      if (firstSync) {
          ...
      } else {
          def HOUR = 1000 * 60 * 60
          def THREE_HOURS = 3 * HOUR
          def remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = replica.customKeys."fieldToLastUpdateDate"
          remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v -> 
              r[k] = new Date((v + THREE_HOURS) as Long)
              r
          }
          ...
      }

      // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes ADO <> Jira
      if (firstSync) {
          ...
      } else {
          ...
      
          def HOUR = 1000 * 60 * 60
          def THREE_HOURS = 3 * HOUR
          ...
          def localFieldToLastUpdateDate = fieldToLastUpdateDateFn("exalate")(workItem.changeHistory)
          localFieldToLastUpdateDate = localFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v -> 
              r[k] = new Date(v.time + THREE_HOURS)
              r
          }
          ...
      }

      Let me know if you don't find a way to handle conflicts for some fields.
      Happy Exalating!

          A note about time

          In my environments, there's a 3h difference between how Jira A and Jira report changeHistory dates:

          in Jira A all the dates seem to be matching my Jira's time zone (EEST), while Jira B reports everything in UTC.

          So if I make changes on Jira A at 12 AM GMT and in Jira B at 12:00:02 AM GMT (2 seconds apart from one-another ) Jira would report 3:00:00 and ADO 0:00:02 

          To accomodate for that, I made it that the incoming scripts add 3 hours to Jira A and subtracts them for Jira B:

          To accomodate for that, I made it that the incoming scripts add 3 hours to ADO:


          Jira AJira B
          ​In

          // Community 42839472: Avoid updating issue with older changes Jira <> Jira
          ...
          if (firstSync) {

          } else {

              def remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = replica.customKeys."fieldToLastUpdateDate"
              remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v ->
                  r[k] = new Date((v + THREE_HOURS) as Long)
                  r
              }
              ...
          }

              ...
          } else {
              ...
           
              def HOUR = 1000 * 60 * 60
              def THREE_HOURS = 3 * HOUR

              def localFieldToLastUpdateDate = fieldToLastUpdateDateFn("exalate")(workItem.changeHistory)
              localFieldToLastUpdateDate = localFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v ->
                  r[k] = new Date(v.time - THREE_HOURS)
                  r
              }
              ...
          }

          Let me know if you don't find a way to handle conflicts for some fields.

            In the new version(Exalate v. 5.4.0 (Core v. 5.4.4)) this code line stop working for ADO and it couldn't find the project: 

            def project = connection.trackerSettings.fieldValues."project"

            So I solved this just by changing the code above with this:

            def project = workItem.projectKey

            Ezequiel Consorti Serhiy Onyshchenko Hello!


            Can you please help me understand In the Jira<>Jira script, where do i need to make modifications (on the incoming section)?


            We've tried to implement it yesterday and gained an error message (I've added the following script as a block in the incoming of both sides, and set the relevant configuration for the outgoing section as well as descripted in the shared script):


            I didn't copy the IF FIRST SYNC as I've just used our used condition that relevant for our project.

              Hi Sagui, 


              There is a part of the script that is throwing the error: 

              remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v ->
                      r[k] = new Date((v + THREE_HOURS) as Long)
                      r
                  }

              Please replace it with the following script which has been tested already:

              remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate = remoteFieldToLastUpdateDate.inject([:]) { r, k, v ->
                      r[k] = new Date((((v instanceof Integer) ? v : v.time) + THREE_HOURS) as Long)
                      r
              }
