Source side
To send priority field data to the destination side add the code below to your incoming sync processor.
Outgoing sync (Data Filter)
replica.priority = issue.priority
Destination side
Jira Cloud
Set the local priority based on the received priority value. If there's no such priority on your side - set the default priority to "Major".
def defaultPriority = nodeHelper.getPriority("Major")
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(replica.priority?.name) ?: defaultPriority- Sync priority with mapping:
Set local priority based on the received urgency from the Servicenow side. If the priority name does not exist on the local side - set default priority to "Low".
def priorityMapping = [
// remote side priority <-> local side priority
"Critical" : "High",
"Medium" : "Medium",
"Minor" : "Low"
]
def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: "Low" // set default priority in case the proper urgency could not be found
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)Jira Server 7.5 and lower/ Zendesk
if (replica.assignee.displayName == "Steve Jobs") {
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority("Critical")
}- Sync priority with mapping
Set local priority based on the received urgency from the Servicenow side. If the priority name does not exist on the local side - set default priority to "Low".
def priorityMapping = [
// remote side priority <-> local side priority
"Critical" : "High",
"Medium" : "Medium",
"Minor" : "Low"
]
def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: "Low" // set default priority in case the proper urgency could not be found
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)Jira Server 7.6 and higher
Use a nodeHelper.getPriority method to find local priority by the remote priorityName.
Incoming sync (Create/Change processor)
There are several ways to manage incoming sync data related to the priorities:
- Find local priority by the remote priorityName. If there's no such priority on your side, don't sync the priority.
In this case, you need to be sure that both sides have the same priorities.
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(replica.priority?.name, issue)
- Set a default priority if the local priority is not found by the remote priority name.
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(replica.priority?.name, issue) ?: nodeHelper.getPriority('Major', issue)- Sync priority with mapping:
Set local priority based on the received urgency from the Servicenow side. If the priority name does not exist on the local side - set default priority to "Low".
def priorityMapping = [
// remote side priority <-> local side priority
"Critical" : "High",
"Medium" : "Medium",
"Minor" : "Low"
]
def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: "Low" // set default priority in case the proper urgency could not be found
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)
