Any way to associate bugs with a particular issue type (like story)?

[Doug Varn]

If I have a user story being tested during a sprint, is there a way for my QA personnel to write up the bug and associate it to that story?

It seems potentially useful to be able to see all the bugs written up against any particular story (feature).

Can this be done?

Use Issue Links: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Linking+Issues

Thanks, I figured that'd be the answer. Was hoping for a perhaps quicker and easier solution. One idea is to be able to create a bug right from a story which automatically associates the two.

There is a plugin that does it but it is not available on onDemand.

I didnt realize its name changed. But here it is: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.valiantys.jira.plugins.exocet.jira-plugin-exocet

I just realized one way to do this too would be to apply a common label to stories based on a particular feature. I'm still wishing you could so something like see a story (in GreenHopper or elsewhere) and click to "create bug" from that story, which auto-associates the two.

If you don't use links for anything else - that would work well.
