# Automatic creation and mapping of field values

Enable automatic creation and mapping of field values for streamlined item synchronization between aqua and Jira projects. Configure settings to simplify integration workflows.

When mapping Jira single-select lists to aqua single-select fields, you can create a single-select list field in aqua and leave the values empty.

During the jira sync set up, the list will be shown as empty. You just need to select option ‘Automatically create all new field values in aqua from Jira on a regular basis’

During synchronization, Jira sync will automatically populate the list with values from Jira to aqua and continue updating it whenever changes are made on the Jira side.

If there are already values in aqua, they will be refreshed with each sync to reflect any updates from Jira.

The difference to the setting ‘Automatically create new values in aqua only when used in Jira fields’ is that in the 2nd option, aqua sync will not populate ALL the values from Jira to aqua, but only those that were used.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/integrations/jira-sync-synchronize-items-between-aqua-and-jira-projects/additional-settings/automatic-creation-and-mapping-of-field-values.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
