This page

explains how to associate a Salesforce Object (such as an Account, a Case, a Contact, etc.) with a Jira Issue, from within Salesforce.

By doing so, you can

link a Jira issue with the current Object, and

configure its sync behavior.

For example, when Salesforce agents receive a Case caused by a known bug, they can associate the Case with an existing Jira issue containing the bug report. This way, both the team working in Jira and the team working in Salesforce can see all related Cases and Jira issues, and push or pull data between the systems.

Prerequisites

• Your administrator has completed a project binding as well as entity and field mappings in Jira.

• Your administrator has configured the Visualforce pages required for the Object.
