# Create Mapping Between Systems

### Description

A user wants to create a new field mapping between entity types of two systems — for example, mapping Jira Issues to Rally Defects.

### Example interaction

| Component               | Detail                                                                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **User prompt**         | "Create a mapping between Jira Issues and Rally Defects for the Alpha (Jira) - Beta (Rally) project integration."                                           |
| **MCP tools invoked**   | `mapping_planner` → `get_fields_meta` (for both systems) → `create_mapping`                                                                                 |
| **AI assistant steps**  | Retrieves field metadata for both entity types → checks for duplicate mappings → presents proposed mapping for user confirmation → creates on confirmation. |
| **AI assistant output** | Confirmation of the created mapping with its ID and a summary of the fields mapped.                                                                         |

### Notes

* The AI assistant will always check for existing mappings before creating and will warn of potential duplicates.
* Advanced configurations such as XSLT transformations, conflict detection rules, and overwrite settings can be applied by requesting them in your prompt.
