Atlas/Jira Goal Linking

[Margarita]

When using Atlas, it is possible to link a Jira Epic to an Atlas Goal from Jira. However, it is not possible to link to a Jira Epic from an Atlas Goal.

Any suggestions on how we can link the Jira epic to an Atlas Goal?

Hi @Margarita,

As a matter of fact, you can. If you open a goal, navigate to the Jira tab and click add iJira ssue:

Yo do need to paste in the link to the issue, but you can even add multiple issues there.

Hope this helps!

Hi Margarita, 

Thanks for reaching out. 

You are right, there is no way of linking a Jira Epic directly from an Atlas Goal today. I have added your input to our insights, so that it will be considered when this capability is worked on.

In the meantime, a workaround could be adding the link in the About tab.

We have a custom issue type, Initiative, in Jira, which we use to group epics. These are goals in Atlas, but they are not linked; we can only include the contributing projects. We'd love to be able to link a goal to a specific issue in Jira, too!
