- Q: I have a connection between two separate Jira instances with pre-3.0 IssueSYNC. I want to update one of them to 3.0. The second instance will stay on 2.X for now. Will this affect my synchronization?
A: The synchronization will not be affected. The upgrade is done per Connection. The new version will detect the older version and choose to use the old Field Mapping. - Q: I have a Jira instance with pre-3.0 IssueSYNC. I only synchronize locally. What will happen to my Field Mappings when I upgrade to 3.0?
A: Because all synchronization is done locally, we have full control over the synchronization and there is no remote instance. The upgrade to 3.0 will simply convert the old mappings to match the new Field Mapping model. This will not affect the synchronization. - Q: I have a connection between two separate Jira instances. They were both using IssueSYNC pre-3.0. Both were upgraded to 3.0, one after the other. Will they use the new Field Mapping?
A: After both instances have made the IssueSYNC upgrade, they will both still use the old Field Mapping. It is possible however, to upgrade the Field Mapping. This action is available from the configuration screen of any Sync Scheme that works within the upgraded Connection. If both sides have IssueSYNC 3.0, a message will appear atop the Sync Scheme summary page. When one of the admins confirms the upgrade, the local and the remote Field Mapping will be converted to the new model automatically. It is best to inform the administrator of the remote instance to inform that an upgrade is going to be executed. The synchronization will not be affected and the new Field Mapping will be available.

Field Mapping 3.0 with pre-3.0 and Jira Cloud
We have removed Local field alias, so you will see local field and remote field. It will work as before.
*If you have provided local field alias it will still be present in remote Jira instance as Remote field identifier, it's still there behind the scenes. Once you remove and re-add the field you will have to adjust remote configuration also.
Synchronization Scheme
Synchronization scheme can be created only with connection being chosen. You will no longer be able to change connection in synchronization scheme.You will still be able to modify connection itself.
