Available customizations

fieldDefaults

Enables setting default values to test case fields. Useful for custom Jira process templates. See Customization: Setting Test Case fields with default values for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

fieldDefaults/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

fieldDefaults/defaultValues

A list of key-value pair, where the key is the canonical name of the field to be updated (e.g. System.Description) and the value is the default value to be used when the test case is created.

mandatory

customFieldUpdates

Enables updating test case fields that are normally not changed by SpecSync. See Customization: Update custom Test Case fields on push for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

customFieldUpdates/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

customFieldUpdates/updates

A list of key-value pair, where the key is the canonical name of the field to be updated (e.g. System.Description) and the value is the template to be used to update the field. The template can contain placeholders listed in the reference.

mandatory

ignoreTestCaseSteps

Can ignore (leave unchanged) test case steps with a specific prefix. See Customization: Ignoring marked Test Case steps for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

ignoreTestCaseSteps/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

ignoreTestCaseSteps/ignoredPrefixes

An array of prefixes. The test case steps that start with any of the listed prefixes (case-insensitive) will be ignored by the synchronization.

mandatory

ignoreTestCaseTags

Can ignore (leave unchanged) test case tags. See Customization: Ignoring Test Case Tags for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

ignoreTestCaseTags/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

ignoreTestCaseTags/tags

An array of tag specifiers. The tag specifier can be a tag (e.g. mytag) or a tag prefix with tailing wildcard (e.g. ado-tag* - ignores tags like ado-tag-important). The test case tags that match to any of the listed tag specifiers will be ignored by the synchronization.

mandatory

ignoreNotSupportedLocalTags

Can be used to specify supported tags. SpecSync will only synchronize the supported tags and ignore all others. See Customization: Ignore non-supported local tags for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

ignoreNotSupportedLocalTags/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

ignoreNotSupportedLocalTags/supportedTags

The list of local (scenario) tags that can be synchronized to Jira. The list can contain full tag names (e.g. @my-tag1) or tag name prefixes with tail wildcard (e.g. @my-tag*).

empty (no tags are supported)

ignoreNotSupportedLocalTags/notSupportedTags

The list of local (scenario) tags that cannot be synchronized to Jira. This setting cannot be used together with 'supportedTags'. The list can contain full tag names (e.g. @my-tag1) or tag name prefixes with tail wildcard (e.g. @my-tag*).

supportedTags setting is used

tagTextMapTransformation

Can substitute characters or sub-strings in tags when synchronizing to Jira. E.g. underscores (_) in scenario tags can be represented with spaces in Test Case tags. See Customization: Mapping tags for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

tagTextMapTransformation/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

tagTextMapTransformation/textMap

Character or substring replacement rules in 'X':'Y' format, where 'X' is a substring in Gherkin tag and 'Y' is a substring in Jira tag.

mandatory

branchTag

Supports synchronization of scenarios on feature branches. See Customization: Synchronizing scenarios from feature branches for details.

SettingDescriptionDefault

branchTag/enabled

Enables the customization.

false

branchTag/prefix

The tag prefix to be used for linking scenarios that are updated on a branch. E.g. the prefix tc.mybranch will generate tags, like @tc.mybranch:1234.

The ID of the work item or pull request to link the Test Case to. Placeholders, like {env:ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE} can be used.
