Failed field mapping during sync

[Gary Brown]

Hello,
We are mapping a string field in TFS to a custom field in JIRA called "Account". However, we are getting this error:

System.Net.WebException: Errors: {
"customfield_10610": "Account is required."

But we have already created a mapping between the TFS and JIRA.
Note, on the JIRA side, the "Account" custom field is marked as LOCKED. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Hi Gary,

unfortunately, as the error messages says, we currently do not support mapping of custom field types like the Account field. I've created an issue TFS-1272 for that, you can add yourself as a watcher to be notified on any progress. However, keep in mind that it's not on our roadmap right now, so please be patient.

Regards,

If I exclude this field mapping, the error reads "Account is required."

Is there any way around this?

[Michał Nykiel]

The only workaround I can think of right now is to make the Account field optional. It looks like you can configure this in Tempo Accounts Configuration: https://tempoplugin.jira.com/wiki/display/ACCOUNTS/Accounts+Configuration

Hi Michal,

Sorry for the delay.

I found that I needed to specify a value for the TFS field before attempting sync.  Now I get a different error for this field: JIRA account field type value write is not yet supported

TFS field field ref name is Applied.Account2 and is type string.

Mapping to JIRA custom field Account (see screenshot below)

Note: we are not using cloud.

Here's more of the log.  Some screenshots below.

Hi Gary,

a LOCKED  custom field works exactly the same way an UNLOCKED one in the case. It looks like the mapping is misconfigured or the string field on the TFS site is blank. We probably would have to ask you to send some screenshots of the configuration and maybe logs. I created a support ticket for the case - https://jira.spartez.com/browse/SUPPORT-1103, but can't invite you, because I don't have your email address. Please create a user account on the https://jira.spartez.com, and I'll attach you to the issue. 

Regards,

Michał
