Add Bitbucket commit to issue

[LAL]

Is there an ability to link commit to a Jira issue after it has been made/merged?

The problem is that developers forget to add issue numbers to the git commit and then there is no linkage.

Can we link the commit to an issue from Jira without needing to touch git?

[LAL · Accepted solution]

Seems like there is no way to add old commit to a new issue.

Linkage between issues and commits needs to be made through Bitbucket commit.

Workaround for this seems to be to use "Web link" on the Jira issue. The link is not added as pretty as through commit message, but traceability remains.

Hi @LAL , 

I'm not aware of the ability to retrospectively add a Jira issue link to a commit. 

What you can consider is to enforce linking a Jira issue to each commit. 

In your Repository Settings, you can go to Links and toggle the "Require issue keys in commit messages". 

Have a nice day! Rik

Thanks, ill try that.

However, id like to not touch the commit at all. Im talking about Jira, can i link commit to an issue not issue to a commit afterwards.
