How does Jira deployments tab map environments?

[Michael Suchacz]

When using Bitbucket the deployment tab was working flawlessly. With GitLab the magic seems to be gone. Is there a way to configure environment names in GitLab to be properly mapped to Development/Staging/Prod in JIRA deployments?

[Erik Minekus]

You can specify the deployment tier for each environment in your .gitlab-ci.yml file to map it correctly in JIRA:

Deploy to SIT:
  stage: deploy
  environment:
    name: SIT
    deployment_tier: testing
  script: # Deploy

Deploy to UAT:
  stage: deploy
  environment:
    name: UAT
    deployment_tier: staging
  script: # Deploy

Deploy to PROD:
  stage: deploy
  environment:
    name: Production
    deployment_tier: production
  script: # Deploy
