Is there a Jira compatibility matrix for Jira Core and Confluence?

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hello, I would like to know if there is a table which shows what version of Confluence is compatible with Jira Core 7.4.3 but haven't been able to find one. I did find an Atlassian post regarding Jira applications compatibility but it only compares Jira Core to Jira Software and Jira Service Desk.  https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjira/jira-applications-compatibility-matrix-875304597.html  if anyone knows of a link that can show which version of confluence is compatible with Jira 7.4.3 it would be very helpful. 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the response @Jimmy Seddon 

So if I am understanding the table correctly, Jira version 7.4 is only compatible with Confluence 6.3, and you need to have a plugin called "AppLinks" version 5.3.2 for them to link properly? 

[Jimmy Seddon]

@Sebastian Gomez, my understanding is that appLinks is bundled with the various Atlassian tools (that's what allows the "Appliction Links" between the various applications).

As it states: "You can link between products that bundle different versions of the Application Links plugin, except as indicated below."

If you read the bulleted list right below that it will tell you what the known incompatibilities are.

So as an example, you are using Jira 7.4.3 which uses AppLinks version 5.3.2, and there is an incompatibility note that says:

• Products using AppLinks 4.1 or earlier cannot be linked to products using AppLinks 5.0 or later

Which would mean that the bare minimum version of Confluence you can link to is one that is using AppLinks 4.2 which is Confluence 5.6

I hope that helps!
