Atlassian JIRA Agile Property Mappings

The following properties have a default mapping between JIRA Agile and Silk Central:
  • User stories that are in JIRA Agile's Backlog are reflected in Silk Central by having the Sprint property value set to Backlog. This enables you to easily search for them by creating a filter.
  • The default Priority values of JIRA Agile's user stories are mapped to Silk Central's Priority property. If you are not using JIRA Agile's default Priority values, you can customize this mapping.

Mapping JIRA Agile Priority values to Silk Central's Priority

The default Priority values of JIRA Agile's user stories are mapped to Silk Central's Priority property as follows:
  • Blocker=SC_Priority_Critical

If you are not using JIRA Agile's default Priority values, or if you want to customize the mapping, your Silk Central administrator should customize the settings as follows:

  3. Search for SC_Priority=Priority, beneath which you can customize the mapping of JIRA Agile's Priority values to Silk Central's Priority.
    Note: Silk Central Priority values require the prefix SC_Priority_.
  4. Save and close the file
  5. Re-start the application server.
