Hi all

Please put this in respective connections.

**Jira Cloud Outgoing Sync**

```auto
replica."formattingtest" = nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, "customfield_10051")
replica."reproactual" = nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, "customfield_10053") 

replica.comments = nodeHelper.getHtmlComments(issue)

```

**Jira Cloud Incoming Sync**

```auto
issue."formattingtest" = nodeHelper.toMarkDownFromHtml(replica."formattingtest")
issue."Actual Results" = nodeHelper.toMarkDownFromHtml(replica."reproactual")

issue.comments = nodeHelper.toMarkDownComments(commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica))

```

**Azure Devops Outgoing Sync**

```auto
replica.comments = workItem.comments

replica."formattingtest" = workItem."Custom.formattingtest"
replica."reproactual" = workItem."Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps"

```

**Azure Devops Incoming Sync**

```auto
workItem.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(workItem, replica)

workItem."Custom.formattingtest" = replica."formattingtest"
workItem."Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps" = replica."reproactual"

```
