• Trigger 
  You need to set a trigger condition for this flow to determine which Problems should be sent to Jira. For example, you can use the following triggers:
  • Operational or Product Categorization fields in ITSM
  • Assignment of the problem
  • Add a custom field as per your requirement.

• Field Mapping
  The following values are mapped out-of-the-box:

  ITSM field	Jira field	Description
  	Project	In the Vendor Field Mapping of the Map Vendor definition, the value of Jira project is set under fields.project.name . By default, project is set to MultiCloud. You should change this value to the appropriate project name. If you have a corresponding field in ITSM for the project name: Change the project field type to dynamic. Select the Field ID on the BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker record definition of the field that stores the ITSM project value. Define the mapping from the ITSM value to the Jira value. You can add the transformations to select the appropriate project based on the value received from ITSM.
  Priority	Priority	Default field mapping
  Summary	Issue Summary	The Problem ID is included as a part of the Summary.
  Category Tier 3	Issue Type	In the Vendor Field Mapping of the Map Vendor definition, the value of Issue Type is set under field.issuetype.name for the instance of Jira you are integrating with.Jira provides several issue types out of the box and also enables users to create their own custom issue types. There are various options to indicate which issue type should be created. The example template uses the Categorization field to decide the issue type. Using the third tier of the problem request categorization, we indicate which issue type to create in Jira. You can use other fields or transformations to define this. However, the value passed to the Issue Type must match the name of the issue.
  Description	Description	Default field mapping
  Problem ID	Label	The Problem ID is included in the Summary and also added as a label on the issue.
