Is it possible to configure workflows across projects?

[饶青]

Because of the job requirements, I need to configure the workflow across projects (the cross-project workflow example is shown in the screenshot).

I know how to configure a complete workflow in a single project, but I don't know if a cross-project configuration workflow is possible. If supports, please let me know how to configure it.
I look forward to your reply, thank you very much.

Hi @饶青 

It is not possible to achieve what you described.

I suggest move both projects to one project and achieve this scenario using Agile boards.

Jira calls it Projects, but that doesn't mean a Jira Project = in real life business Project. :)

Do something like Seba suggested or and work maybe with a Kanban board. Jiras Kanban boards might be a great way to solve this! 

Or have a look at Jiras Dashboard and filter Capability.

Hello,

I am going to use project automation to implement my cross-project workflow.
When the A issue is 'done', the linked issue——B issue will also be transited to 'done'. (B issue is the only issue linked with A issue)
Is there any smart values to get the issue id linked with the A issue?

Thanks in advance.

sincerely,

Qing

I am sorry to bother you.
I got the smart value of the field I needed according to this tutorial, but when I configured this smart value in my project automation rule, I could not get the value corresponding to the smart value.
Excuse me, which step did I do wrong?

The smart value of the field I needed:

My configuration in project automation rule was as follows : 

As shown above, I could not get the value corresponding to the smart value.

I also tried {{issue.issuelinks[0].outwardIssue.key}} and {{issuelinks[0].outwardIssue.key}}, , but they didn’t work.

And I have tried some other smart values , like {{issue.key}}、{{issue.fields.resolution.description}} , they work fine.

Could you help me?

hi @饶青 

As I understand what you want to achieve is that you want list all issue keys of linked issues.

You must remember that you have 2 types of links: inward and outward.

Also you must remember that JIRA build an array of linked issues in specific type. So if you have 3 linked issues (2 outward type, 1 inward type) you will be have arrays with 3 elements.

You ask for first element in array. IMHO you should ask for all array because you never know how many linked issues you have.

What I found:

• to list all linked issues (inward and outward) - {{issue.issuelinks.issue.key}}
• to list outward links only - {{issue.issuelinks.outwardIssue.key}}
• to list inward links onty - {{issue.issuelinks.inwardIssue.key}}

I hope that will help you :)

Hello @饶青 

From a technical point of view, it's not possible.

But you can create one single workflow in a Jira project and split the flow into multiple Kanban board with each Kanban board representing each of your logical project.

Thank you for your reply, I will try it according to your suggestions.
