X-Ray: Imported test cases linked to an issue don't show up in test coverage

Hi all,

Our Jira is setup with our Development workspace and an XRAY Test Project workspace. This was initially setup like this to keep the testcases separate and to not have cluttering of the Development workspace with a bunch of testing issues. 

I'm now trying to "link" these two together, but I can't get the last step to work. This is the situation: 

We use the testcase importer .csv file to upload testcases. In this file we link to the development issue with "is tested by" but we upload it in the XRAY workspace, so it generates an XRAY issue number. This works. The testcases show up in the Development issue, with an XRAY issue number. We also got the Test Coverage field to show up. However the linked test cases do not show up in the Test Coverage field automatically, we have to manually add them still. We also cannot start a sub test execution task from the Test Coverage to have it all linked together. 

Is there a way to achieve what we want? Please let me know if something is unclear or you need additional information.

Hi @Lieuwe Wildschut , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

It sounds like you aren't having any issues with importing, although I will link to the documentation anyway - https://docs.getxray.app/space/XRAYCLOUD/44565062/Importing+Tests+using+Test+Case+Importer 

I think your best bet here is to open a ticket to the vendor, https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211769/xray-test-management-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=support , without seeing what you mean, I don't really understand what the issue is. You can share some screens here and we can get some more eyes on the situation, but the vendor are best placed to help with this.

Best wishes
