Create Jira work items right from Trello

[#1]

 

We know that many of you in this forum have workflows that rely on using Jira and Trello together 🤝. Now you can use a Trello card to create a new Jira work item without switching tools or starting from scratch. If you used the Jira Power-Up before it was retired, this is the new native functionality.

Open the card front menu on any regular Trello card and look for the option to “Create Jira work item.” This will create a new Jira link card with two-way linking between them. From there, you can edit the Jira work item right from your Trello board and your updates will show up in Jira, too. If you don't have a Jira account yet, you can create one right from Trello as part of this flow.

Your card details carry over automatically and your original Trello card stays on the board. This is intentional because it gives you the flexibility to decide what works best for your workflow: keep both cards, archive the original Trello card, or archive the new Jira link card.

Use this feature when a task on your Trello board needs the more rigorous structure and tracking that Jira offers — for example, when it's evolving from a personal to-do into a team project. This option is only available on regular cards and only on when using Trello on a Chrome or Edge web browser.

@Nicole Tang This is a great update! The two-way linking between Trello and Jira makes it much easier to move tasks into structured Jira tracking without disrupting the existing Trello workflow.

This is quite nice :) 

I recently started using Trello, and I really needed something to convert specific Trello cards into Jira work items.

Question on the sync: I like the way that there is a dedicated section/panel for Jira work items when you link them to Confluence content. Any plans on having something similar with Trello integrations? 👀

It could behave in the same way as "Attached emails" when you add an Outlook email to Jira work item > that this panel is only displayed when you use the integration, and there's no action to 'manually' link an email from a Jira work item 🤔

In the times I've attended TEAM and sat at the Trello booth, many Jira users/admins came to the booth and asked the question, "Why can't Trello be the frontend for Jira? Its much nicer to use!"

Seems like now it can! 😁💪
