[Jira Server Exalate] Synchronisation with plugin Checklist (Okapya)

Originally asked by Marina KOKINA on 05 July 2021 (original question)


Hi,
I would like to synchronize a checklist type field (plugin Checklist by Okapya) between Jira Server and Jira Data center. Is Exalate compatible with the plugin Checklist by Okapya ?

Hi Marina

Exalate is a very flexible tool for synchronization that allows you to send and receive different fields, but since we have no relation to the mentioned plugin we cannot assure it can be synchronized, however we encourage our users to try these functionality and experiment with it, a useful exercise is to see what the field is sending via a rest API call, you can access this the following way:

$BASE_URL/rest/api/latest/issue/$ISSUEKEY

Just change the $BASE_URL for your Jira’s URL and the $ISSUEKEY for whatever issue key you want to use as an example.

This will return an object you can review, please attach the result here also so we can see how this plugin is sending the information, that way we can know if we can send/receive it using Exalate.

I would also like to know if you plan to receive this plugin using the same field on the other end (do you have the plugin on both ends?)

Thanks
