Detect synced jira items whitch are moved to another jira project at a later time or deleted in jira

If synced jira items are moved to another jira project at a later time or deleted in the jira project, this is not detected by the MF Connect sync

MF Connect should provide a mechanism or script that matches Octane items and Jira items and creates a list of the items that are not included in Octane and Jira. And send this list to a email adress whitch can be defined by a MF Connect administrator.

  • I agree this idea description needs better wording. But I believe the spirit and intent is there. And I too would like to be notified if the project key ID from 1 JIRA project changes to another project.  In my use case here is what I imagine:

    1) ALM defect is created 

    2) mf connect syncs defect to JIRA as bug 

    3) mf connect runs again this time telling ALM defect what the newly created project key ID is BUG-1234 for example in field called “ref ID”

    4) someone decides to move BUG-1234 to an entirely different JIRA project 

    5) mf connect detects that the original jira project used to sync BUG-1234 changed and BUG-1234 is now really FIX-1234 inside JIRA 

    6) mf Connect is smart enough to then update “ref ID” field on the original defect field to FIX-1234 to continue the testing -> defect -> JIRA bug traceability end to end. 

  • I think it's good that "orphaned" octane entities aren't generally deleted. Because there could be other entities linked to them, for example manual tests. If orphaned entities were automatically deleted, this would complicate the decision of how to deal with the entities that had previously referenced the orphaned entities. A list of orphaned entities would allow the user to decide how to deal with the orphaned entities on a case-by-case basis. It would be helpful if orphaned entities were marked in Octane itself via a corresponding field because this field could be evaluated explicitly using filters.

    This is partially incorrect - MF Connect does detect deletes as well as items moving out of scope.
    Deletions can be sync'ed, however this is disabled by default (data source setting on type level).

    I'm setting this idea to "Waiting for votes" anyway due to the main idea seeming to be about listing deletes and moves and notifying about them.

    You might still want to rework or further clarify the idea description, however.
