Jira Software and Jira Align mapping

Bijal Patel_nilr41

Hi, I have a question when mapping Jira and Jira Align: In the pic below, for example its clear that Epics in Jira Core becomes Features in Jira Align; but what Jira Core levels becomes in purple boxes? In other words, which levels (issues types) in Jira Core become Mission, Vision, Values, Strategies, Goals, Themes, Epics and Capabilities.
I was wondering if I can get a Data Dictionary that describe these Jira align issue Types?

Thank you in advance.

There aren't items in Jira Core that map to Capabilities, Epics, Themes, Goals, Strategies, or Mission, Vision, and Values. Those items exist in Jira Align but not in Jira.

The Jira Align integration guide provides the most complete understanding of the field mapping between Jira and Jira Align. You can find it here:

Hi @Bijal Patel the items in purple that you referenced are not part of the Jira-Jira Align sync and will reside solely in Jira Align.

You can see more about the field mapping between Jira and Jira Align in the Jira Align Integration Guide. You can find that here:

Those fields (Capabilities, Epics, Themes, Goals, Strategies, Mission, Vision, and Values) exist only in Jira Align and aren't synchronized in Jira.

@Rich Sparks - Thank you for the prompt reply.

In our org I believe we are using Jira Advance Roadmap, thus we currently have Theme, Capability, Initiative, along with Epic, Story, Tasks and bugs (See attached picture).

So the question is it possible to link these existing items with Jira align? If yes, what would be the name convention?

@Rich Sparks - Below is a snapshot from our plan view:

I understand. Unfortunately, there is not currently a mapping of the items above the Epic level in Jira into Jira Align. So if you have those items in AR, they won't be synchronized with the information in Jira Align.

This really annoys me - that Jira Align only syncs work (Features (Jira Epics), stories, subtask)

I have used <instance>/rest/align/api/docs/index.html to use API to sync some data from objectives, Initiatives (Jira Align Epics).

It's not great and only certain fields can be synced. E.g. health cannot be synced.
