Hi @Lydia Mzondo 

Welcome to the community! If JWM and JSW are in the same instance (either cloud or DC) you don't need 3rd party apps.

Thanks the 2 are on the same instance. What is the setting or feature to synchronize epics between JWM and the JS projects?

Hi @Lydia Mzondo 

Thank you for posting your question here!

I am Dhiren from the Exalate Team.

I would recommend you to use an integration solution like Exalate in this case.

Exalate, provides a fully bi-directional synchronization between Jira(Cloud,Server,Data Center) and Jira(Cloud,Server,Data Center) among other ITSM systems that is fully customizable. It is easy to set up and the entire customization can be configured using a no-code interface. 

You can even integrate between Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Work Management to achieve your integration requirements.

Exalate also provides a groovy based scripting engine for ultimate level of flexibility and customization.

To setup Exalate, it needs to be installed on the Jira instances that you are looking to connect, if Jira SW and JWM is in the same instance then it is also possible to create a local sync. You don't need to have any certification as such to setup this integration, basic scripting knowledge shall be enough and on top of that Exalate has an awesome documentation which contains a lot of code snippets to help you with scripting and configuration.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Dhiren
