Connect Jira to Realm to make issues, comments, and project data searchable. Navigate to Settings > Data sources and click Connect on Jira, or click Manage if already connected. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Realm app on your Jira site.
Connecting Jira
Install the Realm app from Atlassian Marketplace on the Jira site you want to connect. Once installed, click Configure in the Marketplace and copy the tokens into Realm.
The person connecting should have access to the Jira projects you want to sync.
Depending on your organization’s Atlassian settings, an admin may need to approve the app installation before it can be used.
What gets synced
| Content | Synced |
|---|
| Issues (all types, including epics and sub-tasks) | Yes |
| Issue comments | Yes |
| Attached screenshots (OCR) | Yes |
| Custom fields | Configurable |
Selecting projects
After connecting, choose which Jira projects to sync. You can add or remove projects at any time from the data source page.
Permissions
Realm enforces Jira’s native permission model. Users can only see issues they have access to in Jira.
You can override this by switching to “Everyone in this organization” on the data source settings page, which makes all synced Jira data visible to all Realm users.
Jira Service Management
Realm’s Jira data source also syncs Jira Service Management data. Service Management projects appear in the project list alongside standard Jira projects.
Configuring properties
You can configure which Jira properties are synced from the data source page. This lets you control which issue fields are included alongside issue content.
