Advanced Configuration

The default configuration uses a fixed set of Jira fields for creating a change in BigPanda. Generally you will want to customize which Jira fields are used when creating change records in BigPanda.

The additional fields on the configuration page can be updated to reflect your unique environment needs.

Please see the Jira Changes public documentation for more information on these additional fields and how they are used.
