Mapping goals with issues in Data Center

Follow these steps to create a new issue type and link type for the Goal Mapping feature in the Data Center.

Create a new issue type to map with the goal

Go to Settings → Issues

Find the Issue types section, select Issues types → Add issue type

Enter the issue Name and Description

Create a new issue link to map with the goal

This one will mark the relationship between epics and goals. (Jira admin permission is required)

Go to Settings → Issues

Find the Issue features section, select Issue linking → Add New Link Type

Open the Story Map & turn on the Goal Mapping

Go to Admin Settings → Goals setting
Turn on Map Goals with Jira Issue Type option
Issue type: Select issue type mapping with goals
Link type: Select issue link type mapping with goals
Save: Save the setting

Once saved, all relationships between goals and epics may be lost. Make sure you know what you're doing. We do not recommend this action if your board is currently big.
