Synchronize multivalue List from Jira to ALM QC

Pascal Calovini

Hi there,

I'd have to synchronize Jira Bugs to ALM Defects bidirectional: Tester creates defect in ALM, Connect synchronizes to Jira, developer fixes bug and status gets updated in ALM - so far so good.

Each Bug has field "found in Version" and "Release Version" which are multivalue fields, but normally used as single value.(Because a bug is only reported once), Same multivalue fields in ALM. 

But I have 2 issues with this:
I have to manually update the Jira Release/Version Entities to ALM Version list. Once ore twice a yeat and on each Fix-Version.

Is it possible to update the ALM list via MF Connect?

When a bug gets reopened and a second "Found in Version"-Tag is added, it is stored in Jira with a comma as separator, while multifields in ALM are separated with semicolon.

How can I replace , with ; in MF Connect?

Thanks for your ideas.

    which version of MF Connect are you using please? multi fields should select each field

    you cannot.

    for this query, i recommend opening a support incident, emailing DL-Connect-CFRD@microfocus.com with the case number, and we will be glad to have a meeting with you to see what all is going on.

    We are running Connect 4.4.3 with many patches from MF Development. I map one field from jira to the same field in ALM, but each kann have multiple values from the list (Version)
