Jira link: create and/or link Jira issues to aqua tickets

To connect existing Jira issues to aqua tickets, you need to set up the integration with Jira first.

In order to configure the integration, open the 'Integrations' page, and you'll land on the 'Global' tab. Here, you can set up a single integration that applies to all the projects you have in aqua.

Choose the integration, such as Jira, and then click the 'Configure' button.

Enter all the necessary details and click 'Check connection.' If all your credentials are correct, you'll see the following message:

If your credentials are incorrect, you'll encounter the following message:

To finish the integration set up, don’t forget to click the ‘Save’ button.

You can also set up the integration on a project level, either from the main Integrations page or within the project settings.

Once you've created an integration on a project level, you'll find a tile under the project tab that displays the added integration and which project it's associated with.

It's important to note that project-level configuration takes precedence over the global configuration.

Additionally, moving forward, if your project is put on hold, or you need to make adjustments, there's no need to remove the integration entirely. You can simply disable it and re-enable it as needed.

This means that users won't have the ability to preview or link issues or tickets to aqua projects while it’s disabled, but everything becomes available again as soon as the integration is re-enabled.

We also added the page with aqua apps that you can download and utilise for free. Learn more here about Capture and here about the Jira plugin if you haven’t used it yet.

Once the integration is in place, open the desired aqua item, navigate to the ‘Dependencies’ tab, and then click the ‘Connect Jira issue’ button.

When the pop-up opens, provide the IDs of the Jira issues (separated by commas) and then click the ‘Connect’ button.

All referenced issues will be linked to the target aqua item.

Please note, there is a limit of 10 IDs that you can provide at once. You will be able to link more items by going through the same steps again.

In case you want to create a new Jira issue and link it to the aqua item, just click the ‘New issue’ button and, once you save it on the Jira side, go back to aqua and provide the ID.

You can use the same flow to connect multiple existing or new Jira issues to aqua’s test executions. Just click the same ‘Connect Jira issue’ button on the test execution or test execution details page.
