How to add github ticket number in the migrated tickets in Jira

Originally asked by Cristian Moldovan on 30 July 2020 (original question)


We would like to have the Github ticket numbers migrated to Jira.

How can I set it up in the config?

Hi Cristian!

By default your GitHub Outgoing Script already includes this GitHub ticket number with the line:

replica.key = issue.key

To get this value into a field in Jira, I would recommend to create a Text type Custom Field, for example “GitHub Issue Number”

and then you can use the following line in your Incoming Script in Jira:

issue.customFields."GitHub Issue Number"?.value = replica.key

Thanks,

André
