Software Projects not showing up under Delivery tab

[Alex Kessler]

Using this document as a baseline: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/link-an-idea-to-a-jira-issue/ 

I am a JIRA Admin for the Product Discovery Project & all Software Projects.

We have quite a few software projects already running. 

Under "Delivery" I am unable to link an idea to an existing epic / ticket in a Software Project because under "Delivery" no Software projects appear, even when I search for them. 

Anyone know why this might be happening?

@Bryce York Could you share a bit more about how you've set things up? Generally speaking an idea in JPD is an initiative, big or small; a project in Atlas is used to track that initiative.

These initiatives contribute to goals, and sometimes a single initiative can contribute to multiple goals which is why we've support 1:many for ideas to Atlas goals.

Hi @Rohan Swami -- https://www.loom.com/share/bdd6bf0af6c94c56b37f3b21172ea162?sid=fbb510aa-d798-4524-8157-ad98e3480482

Put this together for you, hope it helps. Apologies for it being a bit lengthy.

Thanks so much for that context, Bryce. I've added it as an insight for our internal JPD project. How's this as a workaround? You can create URL fields for each 'phase' of Atlas ticket. That way you can create views for each team (Design/PM) showing where all the work is at.

@Rohan Swami I think that workaround will suit our needs. Thanks!
