Showing Portfolio custom fields in Jira
You can make certain Portfolio for Jira custom fields display in your Jira issues. This is very handy in providing two-way communication between both Portfolio for Jira and Jira.
The following custom fields in Portfolio for Jira can be configured to display in Jira:
Parent link | You can define arbitrary parent-child relationships between issues, and then show the parent link field in both Portfolio for Jira and Jira. In a Jira issue, you can see and edit the 'parent link' field in your Jira issues.

---|---|
Team | When you assign a team to an issue in Portfolio for Jira, the team is reflected in the Jira issue as well. You can also change the assigned team in Jira, and that change is reflected in Portfolio for Jira. Team in the People section of a Jira issue

Target start and target end dates | Target start and target end dates are directly communicated to your team via Portfolio for Jira plans. The team, however, may be updating dates of their own on Jira issues, since they work directly on these issues in Jira. By having these fields display in both Jira and Portfolio for Jira, target start and end dates will then display in Jira issues.
