ExportFieldValue
In order to convert the Codebeamer field value, such as Wiki markup, into the appropriate JIRA custom field value, such as an array of checklist items, your @CustomField extension must provide a @CustomField.ExportFieldValue method.
The method must return the specified Codebeamer field value, converted into the appropriate JIRA custom field value.
The method has access to the following context information using parameters of the appropriate type:
JiraImportController, to receive the controller of the current JIRA export.
ProjectConfiguration or ProjectDto, to receive the source project of the JIRA export.
JiraTrackerSyncConfig, to receive the source tracker of the JIRA export.
TrackerItemDto, to receive the source tracker item from which the custom field value comes.
TrackerLayoutLabelDto, to receive the source field from which the value comes.
@CustomField.type, to receive the source field value to export.
JiraRestClient, to receive the REST API of the remote JIRA instance from which to import.
ImporterSupport, to receive the current importer
TrackerItemFieldHandler, to receive the handler for the current tracker item field.
For example: Checklist for Jira:


package com.intland.codebeamer.controller.jira;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.JsonNode;

import com.intland.codebeamer.controller.jira.CustomField;
import com.intland.codebeamer.controller.jira.JiraImportController;
import com.intland.codebeamer.controller.jira.JiraTrackerSyncConfig;
import com.intland.codebeamer.persistence.dto.TrackerLayoutLabelDto;
import com.intland.codebeamer.wiki.plugins.ChecklistPlugin;


@Component("com.okapya.jira.checklist:checklist")

@CustomField(type="WikiText", of="Checklist")

public class ChecklistForJiraField {



/**

* Convert a {@link ChecklistPlugin} body into a

* <a href="https://okapya.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CHKDOC/pages/270172389/Modifying+Checklists+using+a+REST+API">Checklist for JIRA<a>

* @param tracker is the JIRA tracker sync configuration

* @param checklist is the {@link ChecklistPlugin} body

* @return the converted {@link ChecklistPlugin} body

*/

public JsonNode cb2jira(JiraTrackerSyncConfig tracker, JsonNode checklist) {

...

}



@CustomField.ExportFieldValue

public JsonNode exportChecklist(JiraTrackerSyncConfig tracker, String markup) {

return cb2jira(tracker, ChecklistPlugin.unwrap(markup));

}



}
During the import, the Checklist for Jira extension converts the Array of checklist items into an array of Checklist Plugin items using jira2cb() and wraps them into Checklist Plugin markup. During the export, the Checklist Plugin body is unwrapped and then converted into an Array of checklist items using cb2jira(). This also converts Codebeamer Wiki Markup back into the special Checklist for Jira Markdown syntax (see attached example source code).
If the JIRA field value would use standard JIRA Wiki markup, your extension should use JiraImportController.exportWikiText(String markup, JiraRestClient restApi, to convert Codebeamer Wiki Markup into JIRA Wiki markup.
