Comment la synchronisation s’opère entre JIRA/XRAY et TEST MANAGER ?

On a paramétré le connecteur UIPATH TEST MANAGER dans le Projet qui nous servira à l’automatisation.

Les tests ne sont pas synchronisé quand on les crée. Faut-il qu’ils aient un type de tets particulier ?
Est-ce une règle automatisée qui lance la synchronisation ?
