Mapping form fields to Jira

Mapping connects a feedback form to a target Jira space and work item type, and decides which Jira field each form field populates. When a submission is accepted, the mapping is what creates the Jira work item.

You can configure mapping in Step 3 of the form wizard when creating a form, or by editing an existing form.

Pick a space and work item type

  1. From the Space dropdown, choose the Jira space to create issues in.

  2. From the Work Item Type dropdown, choose the issue type (e.g. Task, Bug, Story).

Wizard Step 3 - project and issue type pickers

The form fields are listed below the issue-type picker once both selections are made.

Map each form field

For each form field, pick the matching Jira field from its row's dropdown. Common targets:

  • A Short Text field → Summary (Jira's required summary).

  • A Rich Text AreaDescription.

  • Single / Multi Select → custom Jira fields of the same type.

  • DateDue Date or a custom date field.

Mapping table fully populated

Required-field warnings

If the chosen issue type has required Jira fields that no form field maps to, the table shows a warning. The form can still be saved as a Draft, but submissions cannot be accepted into Jira until the missing fields are mapped or the issue type is changed.

What happens on submission

When a user submits a mapped form:

  1. The submission is saved with status Pending Review.

  2. An admin opens it on the Submissions tab and chooses Accept & Create in Jira.

  3. Togetha Feedback uses the mapping to build a Jira work item and creates it. The submission moves to Created and links to the new issue.

If Jira creation fails (for example, a required field is unexpectedly missing), the submission moves to Failed and the admin can retry, see Reviewing and accepting submissions.
