Atlassian Jira Software

This section describes how to configure Atlassian Jira Software (Jira) issue tracking profiles to integrate with Silk Central.

The Jira plug-in relies on the Silk Central Java API for integration, using Jira's REST API.

Versions that are currently supported for integration with Silk Central:

Atlassian Jira Software 6, 7, 8. Versions 6 and 7 are supported but not tested.
Atlassian Jira Software Cloud. Not supported are next-gen projects and projects residing in a cloud instance containing next-gen projects.

If you assign an external Jira issue to a test, you can enter the issue ID either with or without the project key. For example: PROJECT-13 or just 13.

Silk Central supports the following Jira field types:

Text Field (< 255 characters) / Free Text Field (unlimited text)
Select List (single choice) / Select List (multiple choices)
Date Picker / Date Time Picker
Note: These types are provided as text fields and need to be formatted like in Jira: Date Picker: dd/MMM/yy (for example 24/Mar/16), Date Time Picker: dd/MMM/yy h:mm a (for example 24/Mar/16 4:11 AM)
Group Picker (single group) / Group Picker (multiple groups)
Project Picker (single project)
User Picker (single user) / User Picker (multiple users)
Version Picker (single version) / Version Picker (multiple versions)
