Enforce use of Jira story references in commit or PR

[duncan.wraight]

Hi folks

We recently set up CircleCI's Jira notification tool. This allows us to track our CI/CD pipelines on each team's Jira Deployment page.

To facilitate this, we have to include a Jira story ID (e.g. "TO-128") in our PR titles or in a commit (merge commits excluded).

Is there anything BitBucket can do to enforce this? Either on commit messages - a Git hook for instance - or in PR titles?

Many thanks

Hi Duncan and welcome to the community.

It is possible to enforce this for commit messages (not for PRs I'm afraid).

If you have integrated your Bitbucket workspace with a JIRA instance, there will be a link for each workspace repo, which you can view from Repository settings > Links.

In the same page, there is an option Require issue keys in commit messages which you can enable for each repo. Is this something that works for you?

Kind regards,
Theodora
