Hi All

We have one was sync of Tasks from ADO to JIRA cloud

I need to set a Jira label to a constant literal string “ERP”

and the JIRA custom field “Portfolio” to the same value.

This string does not exist in the ADO, it will be hard-coded in the sync config.

My outgoing sync in ADO has these:

replica.labels = nodeHelper.getLabel(“ERP”)

replica.customFields.“Portfolio” = “ERP”

Also tried replica.labels = “ERP”

can anyone point me in the right direction

I got it working, but not sure what the custom field assignment does

issue.labels += nodeHelper.getLabel(“ERP”) – this worked

issue.customFields.“Portfolio”.value = replica.customFields.“xyz”?.value ?: “ERP” -– i believe this says if the incoming custom field contains "xyz’ use it, if not use “ERP”

There is no incoming custom field, I just want equivalent of

issue.customFields.“Portfolio”.value = “ERP”

That is correct.

> issue.customFields.“Portfolio”.value = “ERP”

I assume it is not working?
If not - can you check on the type of ‘Portfolio’

Thanks for reply. Porfolio is a single value select field in JIRA

Is ERP in the list (like without spaces) …
