Update From JIRA
The "Update From JIRA" option allows will pull information from JIRA for the currently selected tasks. This will allow you to individually update selective portions of your project plan. To use this option, highlight the tasks you wish to have updated and press the "Update From JIRA" toolbar button.
You can choose to "Update All Tasks" or "Update Only Selected Tasks". If you choose "Update All Tasks", every task that is linked to a JIRA issue will get updated. If "Update Only Selected Tasks" is chosen, only those tasks that are highlighted will get updated.
You will get a confirmation screen for each of the successfully updated tasks.
Any errors that have occurred during the process will be listed in the "Error List" at the bottom of the screen. The process does not stop when an error is encountered, so if you have 10 tasks you are updated from JIRA, and two fail, the 8 remaining will successfully update.
You can also customize the data that is sent to JIRA by selecting the "Customize" button on the Update From JIRA dialog.
This displays a dialog will all of the pieces of data that are exchanged in the process. You can control which pieces of data get updated from JIRA from here.
Depending on the use case for which you are using The Connector, you have flexibility to control how the synchronization works. If, for example, during the update, you wish to have any description changes reflected in your project plan, you can choose to have that piece of data update during this process.
