#106 Adding data which is not part of the upstram issue casues unrelated and/or phantom updates
Closed: Fixed by sidpremkumar. Opened by rgolan.

When the syncer restart or an issue is synced there is a date field which is written before the
real data of the issue. Any updated to that date triggers a notification by Jira that the ticket change, but in fact the issue didn't change at all.

The syncer should avoid totally manipulating the issue data otherwise the syncer will
not be taken as a reliable one because all kind of weird issues and behaviours will be raised
and it will be hard to explain them. Syncing means keeping the same data - if we want
different presentation we should take advantage of Jira features for that.
P.S. the same goes for the new feature of markdown rendering


I've gone ahead and created two PRs that hopefully address your issue.
The first one: https://pagure.io/sync-to-jira/pull-request/107 addresses your main issue of phantom updates and the date attached to the upstream status.
The second one: https://pagure.io/sync-to-jira/pull-request/108 ensures that only users who opt into the GitHub markdown converter will have their github description converted.

Could you take a look and let me know if that solves your issue?
Thanks!

PR has been merged. Closing this issue. If you want to open another issue regarding upstream status in labels that would be great!
