Automatic issue update with Mend for Jira (Data Center)

Overview

With the Mend for Jira Data Center plugin, you can create issues in your Jira Data Center via the Mend AppSec Platform and also automate the Jira issue creation using workflows. To complement this, existing issues (whether created manually or automatically) that are updated in your Jira are automatically updated in the Mend Platform as well, ensuring seamless synchronization between Jira and the Mend AppSec Platform and containing comprehensive details such as status, link, reporter, and timestamps, for robust issue tracking.

Requirements

• Plugin version 25.1.1 or above is required for this feature.

Functional Specifications

• Updates are unidirectional, from Jira to the Mend AppSec Platform.

• Updates to either the Status or Ticket # in Jira will be reflected in the Mend Platform.

• The Reporter field will never get updated, as it represents the reporter who triggered the issue creation on the Mend Platform.
