Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
Field mapping
Configuring the field mapping ensures that the data from Jira fields inside your Jira issues correspond to the fields in BigPicture.
For example, the End date field stores planned completion data. When you expand or shorten a taskbar on the Gantt timeline, the app can automatically update the End date field of the task. But at the same time, you want that new date to be also reflected in the same project in Jira.
Proper field mapping enables this synchronization. So whenever you make changes to a task date in Jira, you’ll see those changes in your project in the app—and vice versa.
Jira admins can configure field mapping on the App configuration > General > Fields page. For more details, see the Field mapping (configuration) page.
