Azure Devops to Jira Data Center Repro Steps and Severity

Hi,

Synchronization: Azure Devops to Jira Data Center

Setup in Azure Devops:

outgoing:

//Send a Custom Field value
replica.customKeys.“ReproSteps” = workItem.“Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps”

//Severity
replica.severity = workItem.“Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity”

this gives in the local replica somewhere in the json

…

   "customKeys": {
      "ReproSteps": "<div>Test for synchronizing description</div>"
    },

   "severityName": "2 - High",

…

what do we have to configure on Jira side to get these fields correctly synchronized?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Eloise

For anyone searching to do the same:

on Jira Data Center side just add this to incoming:

// Repro Steps CF set

issue.customFields.“Steps to Recreate”.value = replica.customKeys.“ReproSteps”

// Severity CF set

issue.customFields.“Severity”.value = replica.severity

Which fixed that issue,

only thing is that the html in the repro steps is not converted in the correct format

Any help with that, would be also awesome

Can you check if Converting HTML to Wiki - the Azure DevOps style (old community) can help?
