How to automatically submit an issue for the multiple projects in JIRA?

[A Red]

We are working on several projects in parallel that share the same component versions. Is there any way to automatically submit the same issues for the multiple projects in JIRA? Is there any way on how to automatically close these duplicates in case of them is resolved / fixed?

Thanks!

Hi @A Red, 

not with plain Jira. If you have any workflow app which provides you with the ability to clone your issue to another project, link them automatically and trigger a workflow transition on a linked issue, it is possible. 

Do you have any additional workflow apps?

Hi @Thomas Schlegel

We have no workflow apps, Could you suggest any?

Thanks!

[Thomas Schlegel]

Yes, of course. I can recommend three of them (these are the ones we are using, others might be great also, but I don't use them, so I can't recommend them)

Jira Suite Utilities

• Create a linked issue in another project, copy fields 

Jira Misc Workflow Extensions

• Create / Clone Issue, set Fields and link these two issues (also conditionally)
• Transition Linked Issue

Jira Workflow Toolbox

• Create issue and subtasks (you can create more of them at once with this app), set fields and link the issues (also conditionally)
• Transition Linked Issue

We have all of them for different purposes, but I use the Create issue function of Jira Workflow Toolbox and Transition Linked Issue  from JMWE. 

All of them have much more functionality. You can try them for free and then see, if they fit your needs. 

Not to forget Scriptrunner: with this, you can write your own workflow function.

Thank you, Thomas!

Hey @Thomas Schlegel,

please allow me one little remark for the sake of completeness: it's of course possible to transition linked issues with Jira Workflow Toolbox as well - with a highly configurable issue selection (see https://apps.decadis.net/display/JWT/Transition+issues).

Nevertheless, I voted for the answer.

@A Red, good luck with the implementation. If you get stuck somewhere, just head back here.

Cheers,
Thorsten
