[DC] Connect Jira issues to key results
This page is about OKR for Jira Data Center. Using Cloud? Click here.
You can link Jira issues to your key results. This helps you see which tasks contribute to each key result and monitor their status directly from the key result’s Kanban board.
There are two ways to connect issues:
From the Jira issue view
From the key result page itself
