Hello,

The only way how you can do it out of the box is to use webhooks. You can find to send a webhook function among JSD automation functions. But webhooks can only send requests. You would need to write your own program to handle the webhook request and make all necessary changes to Jira using Jira Rest Api.

Or you can use such an app like Power Scripts or ScriptRunner.
