When trying to set up Jira Goals feature, I can't see a way to link my existing projects?

[matthew_wootten]

Is there a way to link existing Jira projects to Goals feature? I have Jira Goals feature set up for my projects, but when I look on my project directory it's only some projects but even then they don't have a direct link. 

I want to set goals for my existing projects/ Jira project so that we can assign tangible goals to tasks for the team. 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Hey @matthew_wootten ,

Are we talking about Atlassian platform projects, or Jira projects (future to be 'spaces')?

If it's the first, you could link the goal to a project. If we look from the Goals perspective, navigate to the goal, open "Projects" tab, and click on "Add project".

This will then result in having a 2-way link between the goal and project in Atlassian Home.

Project view (link to goals)

Goal view (link to projects)

Goals, generally, cannot be linked to a Jira project by out-of-the-box features. You can link specific Jira items, but not the whole project. A workaround would be to create goal custom field and simply add the project link there.

Cheers,
Tobi
