# Jira Cloud

The Harness FME for Jira integration lets you associate feature flags with Jira work items and view those relationships in both Jira and Harness FME.

By linking feature flags to Jira issues, teams can track feature delivery work alongside development activities, navigate between Jira and Harness FME, and maintain visibility into which feature flags are associated with specific work items.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**JIRA CLOUD ONLY**

This integration only works with Jira Cloud product offerings and does not work with Jira Server.
{% endhint %}

#### In Harness FME <a href="#in-harness-fme" id="in-harness-fme"></a>

A Jira instance is associated with a single Harness account, and the integration can be configured for multiple Harness projects.

#### In Jira <a href="#in-jira" id="in-jira"></a>

To set up the integration in Jira:

1. In the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1221408/harness-inc), install the Harness FME integration for your Harness account region:
   * For US accounts, use [Harness FME - Standard](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1723796743/harness-fme-standard).
   * For EU accounts, use [Harness FME - Europe](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/636403565).
2. Within **Apps** in Jira Cloud, open **Harness FME** and click **Configure integration**.
3. Enter the token you copied from Harness FME and click **Save**.

#### Enable the feature flag panel on work items <a href="#enable-the-feature-flag-panel-on-work-items" id="enable-the-feature-flag-panel-on-work-items"></a>

1. Create or open a work item in Jira.
2. Click the **App Actions** icon next to **+** under the issue title.
3. Select **Harness FME Feature Flags**.

   ![](/files/aLEf1hu4fsz1k7yPo0Jv)

   This adds a `Harness FME Feature Flags` section under **Linked work items**.
4. In the **Harness FME Feature Flags** section, click the **...** menu and select **Show for all work items**.

   ![](/files/0EPQSNbQKB95oIGAySN6)

   This ensures that the Harness FME Feature Flags panel is displayed across all Jira work items.

### Connect feature flags to work items <a href="#connect-feature-flags-to-work-items" id="connect-feature-flags-to-work-items"></a>

Once the integration is configured, you can connect feature flags to Jira work items from either Harness FME or Jira.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="From Harness FME" %}
Navigate to a feature flag's **Integrations** tab and click **Connect Jira Issue**. Enter the desired issue number.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="From Jira" %}
In a Jira work item, use the **Harness FME Feature Flags** panel to create a feature flag or connect an existing feature flag.

* **Create feature flag** takes you to Harness FME, where the feature flag creation dialog opens with the current Jira work item entered.
* **Connect feature flag** opens a dialog where you can select an existing feature flag.
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

You can associate multiple feature flags with a Jira issue and multiple Jira issues with a feature flag.

### View your connections <a href="#view-your-connections" id="view-your-connections"></a>

After you create or link a feature flag to a Jira work item, you can view the association from either platform.

#### In Harness FME <a href="#in-harness-fme" id="in-harness-fme"></a>

Navigate to the feature flag's **Integrations** tab to view associated Jira work items. For each connected work item, you can view details such as the issue key, assignee, and issue status.

### Disconnect a work item <a href="#disconnect-a-work-item" id="disconnect-a-work-item"></a>
