A couple ways to do this:

> 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).

  1. Go to Manage Git Repositories.
  2. On proposed integration/repository, go to   Actions ➜ Edit integration feature settings.
  3. Scroll down to Project Permissions and assign specific integration/repository associations on the provided box.

Check the Associate all projects setting 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

Valid commit Jira issue key looks like ABC-123 added a bug fix or MAIN-345 adding important new feature.

The key is that the Jira issue key is in the commit message. The valid Jira issue key example is shown on the screenshot:
