Investigate automatically installing Jira Connect App from GitLab
Topic to Evaluate
There are two parts to the GitLab/Jira integration. On the Jira side there is the "Jira Connect App" and on GitLab there is the "Jira Integration". We see a disparity between installation numbers where the Jira Connect app has thousands or tens-of-thousands of installs while the GitLab Jira integration has millions of projects using it. We would like to investigate if we could automatically install the Jira Connect App when a user sets up the GitLab integration.
There is a plugin API on the Jira side that we could potentially use: https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UPM/pages/6094960/UPM+REST+API
Tasks to Evaluate
-
Determine feasibility of the feature -
Create issue for implementation or update existing implementation issue description with implementation proposal #323880 -
Set weight on implementation issue -
If weight is greater than 5, break issue into smaller issues
