Assign task to a user in Jira instance B from Jira instannce A using Backbone Sync

Question

So I have backbone sync installed on both Jira instances.

Is it possible to assign task to a specific user in Jira Instance B from Jira Instance A?

So far I cannot see the users in Jira instance B from Jira instance A when I assign a task.

Whats the way to solve this?

Hi @Site Clicks  ,

You can synchronize the assignee by mapping the assignee field. Depending on your exact use case, you have two options to solve it:

* Sync assignee to assignee and make use of the correlation user mapping. With that you can directly link users in Jira A to be synced to users in Jira B.
* Sync a select field to assignee. In the select field on Jira A you can create a list with the users from Jira B. Now, every time you want to assign someone on Jira B you can select the user in the select field on Jira A. Backbone will sync this to the assignee field in Jira B.
