How can I send repository name from github to Jira Cloud?
I am trying to set up a single connection to handle multiple repository.
A single Jira project ↔ Multi repositories in Jira.
I checked entity from Jira but I don’t see repo’s name in JSON.
I currently recognize its repository by github’s label, but seems it’s not appropriate way to get it done.

Does anyone have an idea to get it done?

Hi dongyo kang ,

Can you please try something like this?

GitHub Outgoing Sync
replica.repository = issue.repository

Jira incoming sync
if(firstSync)
{
if(replica.repository == “XYZ”)

{//set the Jira project key}
}

As Syed Majid Hassan rightly mentioned, this way you can use the value in an if block to take a decision as to what project this lands in and what issue type it is.

Thanks,

Dhiren

Hi dongyo kang ,

If your replica received in Jira does not contains the repo name, you can add it to the replica from the Github outgoing script by adding the following:

replica.repository = issue.repository

Then, once you receive the repo information in Jira, you can use the value in an if block to take a decision as to what project this lands in and what issue type it is.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Majid
