Question: Can I update Jira issue Status from MS Project using Ceptah Bridge?
Answer: No, Ceptah Bridge cannot update the Status field in Jira from MS Project. Jira Status is not a regular field and can only be changed through workflow transitions, which require user interaction via Jira's interface. Automatic or direct synchronisation of Status from MS Project to Jira is not supported.
Question: Why do % complete values not match between MS Project and Jira after synchronisation?
Answer: % complete values may not align between MS Project and Jira due to interdependent field mappings and MS Project's internal recalculation logic. Fields such as Actual Work, Start/Finish dates, and Work can affect % complete, especially when multiple fields are mapped simultaneously. To avoid inconsistencies, map only one of the interdependent fields (e.g., % complete or Actual Work).
