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 task title with Jira issue number
Unito doesn't sync the issue number by default but you can enable that in your sync settings under the Wrike tab. 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 Wrike.
Text formatting
Unito translates rich text formatting between tools, keeping your task descriptions fully synchronized. However, there are some formatting options that are only partially translated from one platform to the other, while a few options are not supported entirely. Here is an explanation in greater details:
Formatting supported in both Wrike & Jira
The following is a list of the formatting options that are supported in both Wrike and Jira task descriptions. These formatting are preserved by Unito when syncing.
- Headings (levels 1 through 6)
- Bold
- Underline

- Hyperlinks
- Unordered Lists
- Tables
Formatting partially supported
Some formatting in Wrike or Jira are only supported in part by Unito when syncing.
- Jira panels will be transformed into tables within Wrike.
- The table headers in Jira will be transformed into regular table cells in Wrike, but with bold formatting.
- Wrike’s checkboxes will appear on Jira but will not be clickable.
- Indented text in Wrike will be transformed into a bulleted list in Jira.
Markdown Preservation
The following Jira formatting is not supported in Wrike, but the sync will preserve the “markdown” when it shows up in Wrike.
- Colored text {color}
Example:
- In Jira : this is red text. I love it.
