Can MFConnect add Activity tab in Jira Cloud?

Bin Lin

I'm testing MFConnect to sync up AccuRev with Jira Cloud. I was able to sync AccuRev change package info to Jira Cloud with a multi line text field. However, on Jira side, the change package only has plain json format, which is not user friendly at all.

But the current integration tool AccuSync to sync up AccuRev and on-prem Jira, it uses the same multi line text field, there is an AccuSync Jira plugin, it creates a Activity tab in Jira and associates this multi line text field with it, when AccuRev change package sync to Jira, the Activity tab gives a nice format like a table to show the user, version, file name and path.

Is it possible MFConnect has such plugin to install on Jira Cloud to create an Activity tab and associates a multi line text field with it?

    This is not currently supported by MF Connect.

    Jira UI modification/enhancement via Jira add-on is out of scope for Connect - Connect is focused on background sync.
    However, it is unclear to me if for what you describe, a Jira add-on would be required, in the first place.

    In addition, formatting AccuRev data specifically for Jira is unusual for Connect.
    Connect tries to be a endpoint-agnostic as possible - the Jira connector only does Jira things, the AccuRev connector only does AccuRev things.

    That said, depending on details (I am not that familiar with the AccuSync tool), some of this is likely possible by just enhancing the AccuRev connector, and in a fashion that is not dependent on Jira.

    However, no such enhancement is currently planned, and it would rank below a number of more high-profile enhancements already on the backlog.
    If you are interested in such an ER, please use the Idea Exchange capability of this community.
    Take care to describe the idea/enhancement in a way so that other customers can easily understand it and potentially vote for it.
    If you can include an AccuSync example, it would likely help with this, as well.

    First of all, why you claimed "I am not that familiar with the AccuSync tool". AccuSync is OpenText product, no matter it inherited from other company or not, I hope you talk with somebody before you answer the question! Because your company owns AccuSync, I didn't include the screenshot, you can find out what it looks on your own! Furthermore, I described it looks like a table with nice format, instead of plain json. Jira activity tab would format this multi line text field. I opened this discussion because your OpenText support member suggested me to do this, when we were prototyping MFConnect with Jira Cloud and AccuRev. Are we going to an infinite circle? Can you talk with Jonathan Valverde, the support person?
