  6. Add Jira URL and credentials. These can be the same credentials used for automatic Jira ticket creation.

  7. Define Jira Issue statuses which correspond to “Resolved” and “Hidden” in OverOps. Issues with these statuses will be updated in OverOps. Events with any other status will be moved to the Inbox in OverOps.

  8. Apply and save. Now statuses will be periodically synced from Jira to OverOps.

Notes / Limitations

  1. You must own the environment key in order to upload a UDF for it.

  2. You require Version 4.43.2 or newer for the UDF to work.

  3. The UDF is syncing up to 1000 Jira Issues per timeframe specified in UDF
