What is the best way to send Jira Issue keys to Github?

For context: We can’t create fields in our Github instance. I feel like syncing the Jira issue key to the Github “label” field is not correct.

What do you recommend? Have you seen past use cases like this?

Hi,

In Github, since there are no custom fields, I would recommend whenever the github side receives the first synchronization back from Jira, to add a comment with the key of the corresponding Jira issue.

To accomplish this, you should add this in the incoming sync of the Github side and remove any other line that is setting the comments:

if(syncRequest.remoteSyncEventNumber == 1L){
   issue.comments = commentHelper.addComment(replica.key, comments)
}
issue.comments     = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica)

Thanks,

André
