How to associate an issue to a particular jira build ?

Question

Hello!

Is there a way to associate an new Jira issue to a particular bamboo build? Our QA department usually creates new issues based on a particular build. I'm unsure on what's the best way to acomplish this with jira+bamboo...

I understand that issues can be associated to a particular Jira Version, but the versions appear to me as a more "high-level" concept. Until the release of a stable version there are many builds which represent the evolution of the product with new bugfixes and features. I don't know how to link theses builds to the issues

Thanks

Well, technically you can go to "issues" tab of your bamboo build (i.e. http://your.bamboo.com:8085/bamboo/build/addJiraIssue!default.action?buildNumber=6074&buildKey=PROJECTKEY-PLANKEY ) and add manually the newly created (manually created in Jira) issue key to the build. That would associate bamboo build -> to a Jira issue. I'm not sure if this would be sufficient to display this build on jira issue page, but looking briefly at https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JBAM/JIRA+Bamboo+Plugin (you have jira-bamboo-plugin installed on your JIRA, don't you?) it seems to me that it should work - see the screenshot on this page: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Viewing+the+Bamboo+Builds+related+to+an+Issue .

I don't know if there is a more automatic solution, i.e. whether you can click in Bamboo a button named "create a new issue linked with this build" and all the Jira<->Bamboo hassle is set up for you.
