How to enable "Deployments" section of a JIRA project?

Question

I have pipelines set up in Bitbucket repo which is linked with the JIRA project. I can see that they run on every commit, I see them run on every feature/fix branch as well:

But, why am I still seeing this screen in "Deployment" section of the project?

Hi @peter gusev

Thanks for the insight,

To activate the "Deployments" feature in JIRA, ensure that at least one deployment notification is sent from your CI/CD system to JIRA. Verify that your Bitbucket pipelines are properly configured to send deployment notifications to JIRA, triggering the feature to become active and visible.

Hi @Humashankar VJ

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately, the help articles are useless. They basically, repeat each other saying that these three things should be done:

> "Enable or disable the deployments feature" in the project settings

This is already done, as can be seen in my question, since I can open the "Deployments" page, which means "Deployments" has been enabled.

> Connect your deployment tool to Jira

Which is also done, since you can see the feature description hooks up into Bitbucket's branch, as well as Bitbucket's pipeline, which can be seen from the successful build I highlighted in the screenshot.

> Your team must then reference issue keys in commits, branch names, and pull requests, to start linking code and deployment information to Jira.

This is also done, as seen in the issue description -- it can successfully identify with a feature/bug branch and the pipelines that run on that branch.

> View deployment information in Jira
> Once you set up a deployment integration, the Deployments page will show all the deployments linked to your issues, displayed over a timescale. You can filter by environment, version, epic, and issue type, or change the date range.

And this last bit never happens, even though all the rest integrations are working. That's my question - why?
