This guide will show you how to create custom fields in Jira and how to add them to new or existing Jira projects. VERA requires two custom fields to work: VERA Sync ID and Pending Tasks. Once the fields have been initially created, they still need to be added to each VERA integrated project. Skip to the Add VERA Custom Fields to Jira Projects section if you are enabling the VERA Approval Route after the initial VERA Jira integration with Tx3.
