Background: In our company we write detailed, often quite long, product specs in Confluence pages. Our engineers, QA and other stakeholders then review these, we have discussion within the document (as comments), and we "finalise" the spec. When this process is completed and we decide to begin work on the product/feature the dev team creates multiple Jira epics based on these wiki pages. The team takes snippets of the Confluence wiki page specs and inserts these into the description fields of the epics/stories/tasks for the devs that are working on them.
Problem: as work progresses and changes are made to the feature, the wiki page spec and description field content diverge, and keeping these in sync is laborious/not feasible. I have requested that the dev team simply link to the relevant specs in the Jira issues, rather than copy the content, so that we can just update the spec in one place, but they don't like to work like this.
Question: is there a wiki/document editor integration (or something that is suitable for writing large specs in) for Jira that has two-way syncs with description fields? I imagine us being able to write up a spec (anywhere from 1 to many pages), then move individual pages or paragraphs of content into different Jira issue description fields, and then have two-way syncs on any edits to the spec wiki document and Jira description fields.
Open to suggestions on workflow improvements that would solve the issue also. Cheers
