Zephyr Test Case Issue Type & Issue Key

Hi All, I'm running into an issue I can't find a solution/answer for - hence the post.   We have Zephyr Configured against a project and 2 things are happening that I can't figure out. 1. The pro...

Hi,

 

I'll try to help.  Using your numbering system...

 

1. I've seen this posted a few times (see search results) and it seems that a change in the Project key does not automatically change the key in Scale.  I'm sure I've seen a post with a reply from SmartBear confirming same and that there's no fix for it.

 

2. There isn't a specific Issue Type for Scale issues - they follow whatever types are setup and selected in your project.  You should be able to write a JQL or basic query that returns all issues in your project, and some of those should be related to test execution issues.  One way to find some  issues would be to go to the Test Cycles page in Scale and show the Issues column.  If issues have been created they will show as a number in that column.  Highlighting one of those numbers with your mouse cursor will reveal an option to "View in Issue Navigator" which will open said issues in Jira.  Hopefully once you find some in Jira you'll be able to figure out why your search isn't working, but if that doesn't work let me know a bit more information about what you're seeing and I'll try to help further.

    Thank you for your response.

    For #1, that's a bummer - I thought that might be the case.

     

    For #2 I've corrected a wording. I'm trying to export the test cases themselves, not the issues. As I'm quite new to Zephyr I'm not sure if test cases are supposed to be created as an actual issue type that should be searchable in JIRA's issue search function - but currently I can't find them there at all and I'm not sure if that's expected behaviour.

    I did however test your suggestion before I realised I had the wording wrong, and I can confirm I was able to find bug issues I'd raised, but they're picking up on the new project key and not the old one like the rest of the Zephyr cases are.
