A couple ways to do this:

> Check if repository has been reindexed since commit

JIRA ADMIN

Reindexing integrations (or repositories) manually. Note: all repositories are updated regularly without any manual updating required.

Approximately every 8-15 minutes.



Admins can setup webhooks to index commits immediately


The repository has indexed since the commit was pushed

> Check if repository is associated with Jira project

JIRA ADMIN

It allows an admin to associate an integration (and all the repositories) or just a single repository to a set of Jira projects (one, many, or all).

Go to Manage integrations page.

On selected integration/repository, click on   Actions ➜ Edit integration.

Scroll down to Project Permissions.

Set project associations to the current integration/repository on the provided box.

Check Associate all projects — if you want the repository to be associated with all Jira projects.


The Jira project is associated with the repository

> Check if commit has a valid Jira issue key

The association between Jira issues and commits is created by adding the Jira issue key (ABC-123 or MAIN-345) in the commit message.

Example commit messages:

ABC-123 added a bug fix

MAIN-345 adding important new feature.

Valid Jira issue key examples are shown in the following screenshot:

> Try to find indexed commit in Jira Cloud

The commit may be indexed by Jira Cloud – but not associated with any Jira issues. You can verify this with the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Repository browser.

  2. Find the repository and then the indexed commit (may need to select the branch).

  3. If you find the commit – you can then fix commit association by clicking on Change.
