Answer by Mathieu Lepoutre on 16 October 2023

Hi Thorsten,

The issue is ‘labels’ is an array and not a string. Therefore, using the entire ‘labels’ array to map and set ‘issue.typeName’ won’t work as expected

Please try this in Jira incoming sync:

if(firstSync){
   replica.labels.each {
      def mappedTypeName = typeMapping[it.label]
      if (mappedTypeName) {
         issue.typeName = mappedTypeName
         return
     }
   }
}

This will set the issue type in Jira base on the first matching label it finds in the GitHub issue.

For the Github query, please try this in Github incoming:

if(firstSync){
  def remoteTypeName = replica.issueType.name
  issue.labels += nodeHelper.getLabel(typeMapping[remoteTypeName])
}

This will add a label to the GitHub issue based on the issue type from Jira.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mathieu Lepoutre
