TestRail Jira Integration

Question

Hi,

I am seeking advice on TestRail to Jira integration. I have the basic functionality working.

My issues is. I have a user story created within Jira. I have created a test case within TestRail which references Jira user story. I create a pushed defect from the test case which has the user story jira number in the reference field.

When I created the pushed defect within TestRail the defect is not linked to the user story or the jira defect.

I need for the defect to be linked to the user story and also when I select the user story in Jira for it to see the defect as a blocker.

The solution:

* Create Custom field in Jira (for instance: Testrail -Blocked issue). Custom field type should be text field (single line).
* Add your field to Story defect Screen (or Create screen if you have one)
* In your browser search for: YourJiraInstance/rest/api/latest/field
* Find your custom field Id - "customfield_XXXXX"
* Go to Testrail/Administration/Integration/Defects
* Edit your defect plugin (push.fields section as following:
 (turn off linked type and links, add your custom field and turn it on)
* At the bottom of your defect plugin configuration add: (choose label name which suits you the best)
* Create jira automation:

* In testrail push defect window you will now have the field: Blocked issue.
* Just put your reference (story Id) - ABC-12345
* When you push your defect to Jira it will be linked to your story

Hi - I am also not able to link the Push defect to a user story in JIRA. Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks

@Shanu Mandot Hi, we have the same issue and I was looking for an answer.

Is there a better way of TestRail integration with Jira? Can we see associated bug under linked issues for User story and vice versa?
