Summary

Salesforce custom fields are not being synchronized from Jira.

Environment

  • All Jira versions

  • All Connector versions

Diagnostics Steps

Not applicable.

Cause

This is happening most likely because when you synchronize the Jira field to a Salesforce custom field, the value of the field is hitting or exceeding their length limit for the respective Salesforce custom field type.

We are currently working on an improvement to provide better context when this happens.

Workaround

Not applicable.
