Usage

After setup, you can create new Jira issues or comment on existing ones directly from test execution details in Currents.

Access Jira Features

1. Open any test execution details in Currents

2. Look for the Jira icon (only visible when integration is enabled)

3. Click the icon to open the Jira actions dialog

From here, you can:

• Create a new Jira issue

• Link to an existing issue

Notes

• The integration creates one-way links from Currents to Jira

• Jira issue status updates are not reflected back in Currents

• Comments include a link back to the specific test in Currents

Limitations

Required Jira issue custom properties

Problem: Jira issues allows required custom properties when an issue is created depending on the issue type. This is currently not supported in our integration, as we can't send custom payload to the create issue endpoint.

Solution: Two options are available to overcome this issue. First,

• Don't enforce custom properties as required.

• Use a different issue type that has no required custom properties.
