Originally asked by Eugeniu Aftenii on 09 May 2023 (original question)

Hi team,

I’m working on synchronization between 2 Jira projects (same instance). Everything was working fine until I bumped into the status sync. For example here is the scenario → In the source project a have a set of statuses and in the destination project I have another set and some of them aren’t the exact match. So I went ahead and defined the status map as following:

========================================================

def statusMap = [
“Waiting for Approval”: “Waiting for IZ Approval”,
“Waiting for Approval”: “Waiting for AX Approval”,
“In Progress”: “Code Review”,
“Ready for QA Deployment”: “In Progress”,
“Blocked Testing”: “In Progress”,
“Ready for Test”: “In Progress”,
“Testing”: “In Progress”,
“Ready for Acceptance”: “Ready for IZ Acceptance”,
“Ready for Acceptance”: “Ready for PQA deployment”,
“Ready for Acceptance”: “Ready for AX Acceptance”,
“Ready for Acceptance”: “Ready for MKT/CPL Acceptance”
]
def remoteStatusName = replica.status.name
issue.setStatus(statusMap[remoteStatusName] ?: remoteStatusName)

=========================================================

To give more clarification - the way I’m trying to map is the following:

“Waiting for Approval (Target Project)” : “Waiting for IZ Approval (Source Project)”

Error I’m getting: “Can not find status `Waiting for IZ approval` in workflow `LXP Story Workflow (v2)`. You might want to map status Waiting for IZ approval to a existing status in your workflow for the issue”

Thanks in advance.

It could be a small mistake I think.

In mappings such as the following:

“a” : “b”

the first entry always corresponds to the remote system i.e. the sender, and the second value is the value you want the target issue to change to.

Am I reading this wrong, or have you got this configured the other way around?

Thanks

Hi Majid,

Yes it looks like I got them mixed up. I was able to play around and make a few adjustments and got it to work.

Thanks,

Eugeniu
