Mapping Fields During Import
Mapping during import is automatic, and it is essentially same of what happens during export: Mapping of Codebeamer Fields to MS-Project Tasks
The key differences are listed in the followings.
Finding and updating existing work items: Hyperlinks to ID field
When importing a MS Project to Codebeamer the importer will look for the "Hyperlink" field of MS Project tasks, and if that hyperlink points to a Codebeamer work item (bug/task etc...) then the import will update that found work item.
This is how you can synchronize the existing work items with the MS Project tasks. The ID-s of the work item's found are appearing on the import UI as following screenshot shows:
