Creating JIRA issues from a build

When Bamboo is integrated with JIRA, you can create new JIRA issues right from your Bamboo build result. This lets you easily:

• Capture critical infrastructure failures that are keeping your build from passing.
• Request that a successful build be deployed to the next environment.  
• Create a searchable knowledge base of failure causes and solutions.
• Log time spent on build failures and use JIRA dashboard gadgets to discover trends over time.

When you create an issue from Bamboo, the issue in JIRA links back to the build result it was created from.

A link to the new issue is displayed in the 'JIRA Issues' section of the Build Result Summary, and on the Issues tab, in Bamboo.

To take advantage of JIRA issue creation in Bamboo:

• You require JIRA 5.0, or higher.
• There must be an application link already set up between JIRA and Bamboo.
• Your JIRA administrator needs to have enabled fully reciprocal issue linking in JIRA.
