Deployment management and integration of deployment tools with Jira Software Cloud

[Guillaume _Apwide_]

Hi everyone,

We are big fans of the Deployments timeline and its underlying Deployment API provided by Jira Software Cloud:

There are many resources and examples provided by Atlassian here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/integrate-your-deployments-with-jira/ 

We have successfully integrated this api with our Jenkins server that is used for build and continuous integration of our apps: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/integrate-jenkins-with-jira/

It works really well to give a "ticket centric" view over the past deployments that is especially adapted to CI/CD pipelines.

I think that this topic deserves a dedicated discussion to exchange best practices and real life feedbacks/questions that arise when you start integrating various deployment tools (ex: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins,...).

We are quite experienced with Jenkins integration and we will be happy to share this experience with the community. 

We would also love to get feedback from other "deployment api" users ! ;-)

Hi Josh,

You can try to use the gadget "Filter Results".

This gadget brings the information of a filter/JQL query you save and show the information, with the fields you want it to show on it.

In the below documentation, there are more information, regarding to adding gadgets.

Thanks Gabriel - unfortunately, that Gadget looks like it used only on Dashboards, correct? 

I was hoping to include JQL text results within a text description field within a JIRA Issue - similar to JIRA Issue/Filter Macro on Confluence. 

It would sort of worked like linked issues to an Epic...except the JQL results would display as a bulleted list within the text box.

Thanks!
