### `Sync Failed` error when refreshing repository data
If you get a `Sync Failed` error in Jira when [refreshing repository data](#refresh-data-imported-to-jira) for specific projects, check your DVCS connector logs. Look for errors that occur when executing requests to API resources in GitLab. For example:
```plaintext
Failed to execute request [https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/:id/merge_requests?page=1&per_page=100 GET https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/:id/merge_requests?page=1&per_page=100 returned a response status of 403 Forbidden] errors:
{"message":"403 Forbidden"}
```
If you find a `{"message":"403 Forbidden"}` error, it is possible that this specific project has some [GitLab features disabled](../../user/project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions).
In the example above, the merge requests feature is disabled.
To resolve the issue, enable the relevant feature:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
