Jira and SharePoint integration where I can open a document in the desktop version of MS Word

Question

I need a solution where the document is stored in SharePoint but linked to a Jira issue. From within Jira, I want to be able to click on the link for the document and it open up in the desktop version of MS Word (not in the browser). Then when saved, it is stored again in SharePoint with the link in Jira.

Sorry, that doesn't meet the number one requirement that I have. It's a showstopper without it.

Hi @John Funk

As @vikram suggested, the Communardo's App Sharepoint Connector for Jira main's goal is to get the best of Jira in SharePoint and vice-versa.
Right now, because of the technical limitations of the main Tools, the document can be opened and edited only in the browser's version.
If you want to give the Add-on a try anyway, you can follow the link Vikram posted.
Here is a link to our Documentation and our Support.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to get a tailored Demo presentation or if you have any questions.

Best regards,
