1 - Go the global administration menu > Add-ons > Elements Copy & Sync configuration.
2 - Add an operation by going to the Operations tab > Add:
-
Choose a meaningful name for your operation, e.g. Escalate issue to the operations team.
-
We do not need to configure the Display tab since we will automate the operation and won't have it displayed.
3 - Configure the Activation tab:
-
Configure the source issue that will be used for the operation by defining a JQL filter.
In our case, we are creating an operation dedicated to the Declare an incident on a material request type.
How to check the Customer Request Type value? Use Elements Copy & Sync JQL checker!
4 - Configure the Target tab:
-
Define in which project you will create which issue type with which link.
-
Make sure to select the eye icon to ensure these settings are read-only.
-
Check Bypass user permission: this will ensure your Jira Service Management agent can escalate the ticket in another project even though he doesn't have enough permissions.
-
Choose the previously created field mapping. By clicking on the "Check mapping" link, a new window will pop up to display what fields are mapped in the selected field mapping.
