Linking existing Jira work items

Find the Jira app in the right-side panel and click Link existing work item (1) to get started.

The app shows a selection of the five most recently used work items. If you do not see the work item you are looking for, use the work item search (1) to find the work item.

You can search by work item key (e.g., ENG-25) or by text directly. If you require additional search options, you can also search by JQL using the jql: prefix.

Available search options

• By work item key: type the work item key into the search box. Example: ENG-25

• By text: type free-form text into the search box. Example: As a user, I want to link a conversation

• By JQL: type jql: followed by your JQL query into the search box. Example: jql: issuetype = bug

When you have found the work item that you would like to link, click on it to link (2).

A confirmation message will indicate that the link has been established successfully. Click Done to return to the app home screen, where you can now see the linked Jira work items (1) and an internal note (2) to record the event.

Paid features

Note that the linked Jira work items (1) only show up in the sidebar if you have the Jira companion app installed and licensed.
