Can you have a JPD description show on a Jira Project like it does on the Jira Epic?

[Dave Noble]

The flow is

1. Idea gets created in JPD
2. You create a delivery item (epic) from the idea and you can embed the idea description in this as you create it
3. You can then link your epic to a jira project

But at the final stage, you lose the idea description - can it also be embedded in the hira project?

Hi @Dave Noble ,

When you say "Jira Project" do you mean this classic 'container', looking at official terminology, or are we talking about some custom hierarchy in Jira (note that this is available in Premium and above)?

The reason I'm asking is that Epics are always part of one Jira project. Additionally, there is no way to set the project description (at least not natively).

If you could share some examples/screenshots of what we're talking about here, it would be quite helpful.

Cheers,
Tobi

Yes sorry.

So now that Projects have moved out of Atlas are now known as Atlassian Projects - this is the one I mean.

@Dave Noble got it. Thanks for clarifying!

As for this part related to syncing, you'd probably need to define which part of the project you'd like to sync the Epic/Idea description with. (as these are three separate 'fields')

This would most likely be a new feature request, but it's more related to Atlassian home than to JPD, I would say.
Currently, you can probably set/copy this content manually.

I know there are some ideas in the background related to rewamping the whole Projects concept, but this is a long-term thing, and I don't see it being rolled out soon.

You could, maybe, reach out to Atlassian Support and discuss this syncing of project <> Epic description with them in case the JPD team doesn't jump in here. 👀
