Add environment mapping to achieve a flawless integration experience
We've recently enabled the integration to track our development progress in Jira in a better way but apparently there is a couple of missing things in regards to the environment mapping. Currently we are using the User Acceptance Testing environment with abbreviation UAT which is not mapped here. This result in an Unmapped value in Deployments and anUndefined environment in the issue Releases field.

Can you please consider to add this small enhancement into the integration mapping values? What is more, there is another common abbreviation that is often used among the DevOps configs in the technology that I am working with called: SIT - which stands for System Integration Testing environment
This is a duplicate of https://github.com/atlassian/github-for-jira/issues/895
We understand that there needs to be a better way to do mappings and we do have it in our backlog. I'm curious though, in your opinion should SIT and UAT be classified as testing or staging? In the meantime, I'm happy to add those two to the mappings to fix your issue short term.
@mboudreau thanks for the quick response!
I would say that in most cases SIT and UAT are classified as testing environments. I have never seen them set up as staging environments to be honest.
We're also facing the same issue. Given that our project has multiple parallel environments, they are not just named "QA" or "PROD", they also have a suffix with the description of the service. e.g.: QaXXX This makes all the environments to be unmapped in Jira and have the "Undefined environment" issue described above. It's not a critical issue, since I can click that link and see the details of the deployment where the name of the environments show correctly. It's just on the quick view of the Jira issue that I cannot immediately see the deployment info and I need to do some extra clicks to get to that information.
Hey all. We're currently working on something that will allow you to add additional environment mappings per repo. Stay tuned!
Cannot wait!
@rachellerathbone is there any sort of timeline on this? Just doing some project planning :P
@rachellerathbone curious if there's any update here.
@rachellerathbone just checking in, would love to use some of the DORA insights of Jira, but can't currently with this.
Hey @joegaudet. Does this help? https://github.com/atlassian/github-for-jira/issues/1303#issuecomment-1226715001
@rachellerathbone that looks great! I think it will solve our issues. Thank you.
Awesome! I'm going to close this issue. Please reach out again if you need help with anything else.
