Sync tasks/issues already closed

Unito will automatically sync opened tasks or issues automatically. But here is how to also sync closed tasks and issues prior to the sync creation.

Prefix Issue title with Jira or BitBucket issue number

Unito doesn't sync the issue number by default but you can enable that in your sync settings under the BitBucket or Jira tabs, depending on which you'd like to attach. Here is how to do it.

Default type for new Jira issues

You can choose which type of issue should be created by default in Jira when a new task is created in BitBucket.
