GITLAB DEVELOPMENT SECTION PRODUCTION

[Mateusz Janus]

Hello Brothers and Sisters

I sucesfully integrated Gitlab with JIRA. Its JIRA DC.... so it was solid battle to achieve it :)

Under Development section AS-IS jira displays gitlab activities but regardless which gitlab environment it is. In other words, I display there UAT, PRE-PROD, PROD activities.

Question:

is is do-able to somehow differ between UAT and PRODUCTION? I would like to show whether commit is done on test env and on PROD as separate information.

UI here is just for reference.

Hello Mateusz, 

thanks for your interesting Question. 

Unfortunately, the standard GitLab integration for Jira doesn't currently support environment-based filtering in the Development panel. The integration displays all GitLab activities (commits, branches, merge requests, and deployments) associated with a Jira issue key, regardless of which GitLab environment they're deployed to.

Potential Workarounds

While there's no built-in solution, here are some approaches you could consider:

• Use Different Issue Keys: Create separate issues or use different issue key prefixes for UAT vs PROD deployments, so commits reference different keys depending on the target environment
• Custom Integration: Build a custom integration using the Development Information REST API to filter or display environment-specific data
• Jira Automation: Use Jira automation rules to track deployment status to specific environments through custom fields or labels
• Third-Party Apps: Explore Atlassian Marketplace apps that might offer enhanced deployment tracking with environment filtering capabilities

• Integrate GitLab with Jira - Official Documentation
• Development Information REST API
• GitLab Jira Integration Documentation

I'd recommend voting for or creating a feature request with the Atlassian Support to add environment-based filtering capabilities to the Development panel.

Hope that helps. 

Greetings, 

Alex
