Solution to assign tickets to members in a different project

unknown

Currently, the company I work for however a master JIRA site, which contains x2 projects...

 

* IT Support

* Development

 

For business reasons, the x2 projects have to remain separate with separate support staff for each

We have a software product which is shortly about to move from development to BAU.

However, we anticipate that tickets will be raised in the IT Support project which the development project will need to work on.

 

I realise there are options to move, clone and create sub-tasks, however keeping everything linked and the original customer / ticket updated without too much manual intervention is awkward and requires a lot of manual updates

We've looked into automatically moving and linking cloned master tickets to the dev project, however the issue we are trying to resolve / automate is that of customer notifications...

To give an example

1) Customer logs a support ticket to IT Support Project

2) IT Support staff need to engage development project team to work on issues reported by customer and therefore need to notify the dev project somehow by means of either a clone, move or subtask.

 

Any suggestions / solutions / apps etc which could assist would be greatly appreciated

Hello @[deleted]

If you do not mind using a paid add-on, I can suggest the app "Elements Copy & Sync", which was designed to resolve your exact use case.

I'm the Product Manager of the app, so I would be happy to answer any question you might have.

Basically, the app would let you copy your support ticket into any development project (either manually or automatically with a post-function). It lets you decide which fields you want to copy from the ticket to the other project, and if you want to copy attachments or comments.

What may be of interest to you is our synchronisation capabilities : if a modification is made in the "cloned" ticket, you can have your "original" ticket automatically updated if you need to.

Comments can also be automatically synchronised between the two tickets if you need developers to be able to directly communicate with customers (this is optional, of course).

Finally, you can also synchronise the status of your tickets, no matter which workflow they use. So, if you close your clone, it can automatically close the original ticket, or any behavior you might need.

This app is entirely free for at least a month trial (and remains free for instances with 10 users or less), so trying it out may help you see if it fits your needs.

Of course, don't hesitate to ask me if you need more information.

Kind regards,

Julien
