Multi-Level Categorization
This article shows how to configure the synchronization of the Multi-Level Categorization (MLC) entries. The configuration shows both directions, Jira → SolMan and SolMan → Jira.
For the setup of the synchronization of the MLC entries, a field on Jira side of type Select List (cascading) is needed. Please be aware that this field type only supports two hierarchy levels even though more than two hierarchy levels are used on SolMan side. That means, only the first two hierarchy levels can be synchronized between SolMan and Jira.
Set Up on Jira side
