Commenting on a GitHub issue can make a Jira issue.
Q: How do we find the Jira project to use?
An explicit mention in the comment. No: too laborintensivelabor intensive, error-prone, and repetitive.
The issue’s repo has an associated Jira project (somehow).
The issue is on a project board, and the project has an associated Jira project (somehow).
The GitHub issue will then get another comment with a link to the Jira issue.
Q: is there a better way? GitHub issues don’t have arbitrary links out.
The Jira issue will have a link to the GitHub issue.
I think we already have a field for this? “customfield_10904” (known as URL, but there are multiple fields called URL).
