Update on using Jira within Trello 💙

[#1]

Earlier this year we announced the new Jira lists feature in Trello that can help manage your Jira tasks right within your boards, and we heard your feedback about the need for smoother native linking between Jira and Trello. To further simplify the experience of using Jira within Trello, we’ve officially removed the Jira Power-Up from the Power-Up directory and will remove it from existing Trello boards starting November 21, 2025 onwards to replace it with more native integration features.

This Power-Up was originally built and managed by the Trello team before Jira was integrated into Trello like it is today. Your boards will automatically transition to the native Jira features in Trello and your existing Jira links will remain intact on your cards as attached Smart Links. No action is required from your end and you will not lose any existing data or links during this process. You can continue enjoying native Jira features like Smart Links, Jira lists, and the ability to attach a Jira issue to any card that easily show the issue key, title, and status on your Trello cards.

👀 What you’ll see in the refreshed experience

Boards using this Power-Up will receive a notification of this change and information on how to start using the integrated Jira features.

On boards that previously used the Jira Power-Up, Jira links will continue to appear on Trello’s card backs. The visual treatment will automatically shift from the Power-Up preview to Smart Links powered by the native integration with Jira, showing the issue key, title, and resolution status with quick access to open in Jira. This change will give you a more consistent Jira experience in Trello without losing any attached links.

✅ How to use Jira in Trello

Start using native Jira features in Trello by attaching Jira issues as Smart Links to gain rich context directly on Trello cards.

You can also integrate Jira lists into your kanban boards. You can search for and attach existing Jira issues without leaving Trello, and leverage Jira smart lists to surface issues by JQL or filters—no manual upkeep required.

As you move towards utilizing more native Jira features in Trello, we’d love feedback on your wins, gaps, or ideas commented below—your input not only helps our team discuss the next cycle of improvements, but also provides useful tips for fellow Trello and Jira users!

How will this impact visibility from Jira to the Trello cards that the issue is linked to? This was previously displaying within the Jira issue in the Linked Items/Mentioned On area, but I am no longer seeing this in the Jira UI.

How are we going able to create a new Jira issue from a trello card without the power-up?

We have partners we use trello with to communicate, and THEN create the issues in Jira ourselves when needed (partners can't access our Jira instance, so cards from lists don't show anything), so without the button it just seems like a lot of extra work?

Those Jira lists are only good if you work the other way around (from Jira TO trello), unless I missed something? Could you at least add an option to drag a card onto the Jira list to automatically "create" a new issue?
