How To Detach a bitbucket repo from a JIRA Project

Question

I created a new JIRA project and attached a repo that someone had mistakenly mis-categorized.  I now need to remove this one repo from being linked to the JIRA project.  I can't seem to find a menu for doing this.

This is a company managed project.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Hi Brett,

In Jira Cloud, when a Bitbucket Cloud repository is linked to a Jira project, the integration is typically managed via the DVCS accounts page or via the repository settings in Bitbucket Cloud. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct "unlink" button in the Jira project UI to remove a specific repository. Here's how you can unlink the repository:

Steps to Remove a Linked Bitbucket Repository

* Check DVCS Accounts in Jira:

* Go to Jira Settings → Products → DVCS Accounts.
* Locate the Bitbucket account that is linked to the Jira project.
* Click on the linked repositories to view all repositories integrated with Jira.
* Unlink the specific repository:* If there’s an option to disconnect the repository, select it.
* Otherwise, unlinking may require removing the repository's specific configuration from Bitbucket itself.

* Check the Repository Configuration in Bitbucket:

* Go to Bitbucket Settings → Repositories.
* Navigate to the specific repository that was mistakenly linked.
* Look for Jira Links or Integrations under the repository settings.
* Remove or disable the link to the Jira project.

* Disconnect via Jira Project Settings (if available):

* Go to the Jira project where the repository is linked.
* Navigate to Project Settings → Integrations → Bitbucket.
* If the repository is listed, there might be an option to remove it.

* Disable Automatic Linking (Optional):

* Ensure that automatic linking of repositories doesn’t re-link the repo:* In DVCS Accounts, configure the settings to restrict automatic linking by removing permissions for the repository.
