How can we pull data/reports in one dashboard from 2 Jira projects hosted on different instances?

Hi @Kriti Kashyap  This is not possible with standard Jira features. You will need to use external reporting tools like Power BI to pull data from different instances and set up a unified report.

Hi, @Kriti Kashyap

You can achieve this in Jira dashboards by using a pre-created filter with the following JQL: Project in (“A”, “B”).

Alternatively, you can use Report Hub, an app developed by our team. Report Hub provides:

✅ The ability to apply JQL directly inside reports without needing to create filters beforehand

✅ Preconfigured reports for quick insights
✅ Custom reports that allow deep customization

This way, you can configure reports on the fly without additional setup.

Thank you @Alina Chyzh

We have one report in project A and another report / issue in project B. having said that, could you please elaborate your first suggestion?

[Alina Chyzh]

My first suggestion will only work if both projects are in the same Jira instance. If they’re on different instances, JQL alone won’t be able to pull data across them.

One way to handle this is by importing data from one instance to another, either using Jira’s external issue import feature or third-party integrations that sync data between instances.

Hi @Kriti Kashyap

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

when you want to report on data from 2 different Jira instances, you basically have two options:

• Sync all the data into one Jira instance and report there using the standard reports or your preferred reporting app. If you want to go that way, I'd recommend searching for issue sync apps in the Marketplace. I'm part of the team behind Backbone Issue Sync and happy to provide more details about that option if you want.
• Use a dashboard/reporting app which supports adding other instances directly like Dashboard Hub Pro (I'm not affiliated with that vendor). @Alina Chyzh, is your Report Hub also capable of directly integrating another instance? I wasn't sure based on your answer.

Cheers,
Matthias.
