Integration between different Jiras which have different workflows

Originally asked by Elif on 28 August 2023 (original question)


Is it possible to integrate two Jira instances if they have different workflows ? Although they have different workflows, can we still see the same status for a shared issue on both Jira instances ?

I am not quite sure if I follow the question, but I will try to outline your options here.

Considering that the two Jiras have different workflows:

Considering that the 2 workflows are different and you dont want to change the actual status but stil want to “know” what the status on the other end is:

  • create a custom field called “Remote Status” on both Jiras (this will hold the actual status of the ticket on the other end).
  • In the Incoming sync, please add the following line:
    issue.customFields.“Remote Status”.value = replica.status.name

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
