Syncing Custom Fields Between Zendesk and Jira
Can I sync custom fields between Zendesk and Jira?
Yes, both system (default) and custom fields are supported for syncing between Zendesk and Jira. However, only a subset of all available field types are compatible. For example, a text field cannot be synced to a datetime field. The user interface helps prevent misconfiguration by hiding unsupported field types and greying out invalid mapping options.
It's recommended to test your field syncing in a test environment or sandbox to ensure everything works as expected before going live.
