Create Jira items from Perforce ALM

You can create new Jira items from Perforce ALM and automatically attach them to the ALM items they were created from. This makes it easy to create an item without switching to Jira and to make sure the item is attached to the related ALM item so other team members have the information they need.

For example, if you are performing an ALM manual test run and a problem occurs, you can create a Jira item from the manual test run. When you save the item, it is added to Jira and automatically attached to the ALM manual test run.

You can also open Jira's Create page from Perforce ALM. Click Open Jira when working with an item or click Actions and choose Open Jira.

1. Click the Jira Issues tab when you are working with an item.

You can also select an item in an item list and click Actions and choose Create Jira Issue.

2. Click Create Jira Issue.

The Create Jira Issue dialog box opens.

3. Select the Jira Project to create the item in.

The available projects depend on the integration settings for the ALM project and your Jira permissions. If only one project is available, it is automatically selected.

4. Select the Issue type to create. The available types depend on the selected project, types included in the integration settings, and your Jira security permissions.

Fields for the selected item type are displayed.

5. Enter or select the item information.

Some fields may include default values. You can use, replace, or add to these values.

You can use Jira text formatting notation in fields. The formatting is applied when viewing item in Jira. See the Jira documentation for information about text formatting notation.

6. Click Create.

The item is added to Jira and attached to the ALM item you created it from. Information about the item is displayed on the Jira Issues tab in the ALM item. See Work with Jira items in ALM.
