It will add test cases to the associated test cases section of the story. And Test Run will be created as new issue types if we use 'Create new' option with it and the same Test Run will be reused when Jira issue key is matched with issue key from execl file, if we use 'Replace all' option with it.The issue key and summary are matched. In case, if the Summary does not match, QMetry updates the Summary in Jira as per Excel file since Summary is a mandatory field.
Second Combination :
