After enabling the app and configuring the desired app settings, the next step is to create a project link. Before you start creating project links please make sure to understand the following implications:

Info

  • Versions/Components are synchronised from one Master/Parent project to one or multiple Linked/Child project(s)

  • It is not possible to create a project link with a project that already acts as Master/Parent or Linked/Child project. 

  • Synchronisation is effective immediately, meaning that the app will start synchronising versions/components as soon as a project link is saved.

  • In case of simple synchronisation, the app will delete any versions/components in the Linked project(s) that do not exist in the Master project

Tip

  • To make sure you fully understand the impact that Version & Component Sync has on your projects, we advise you to first test our app prior to configuring project links in a production environment. 

  • In order to test our app please take the following steps:

    • Create the following projects in Jira

      • Project Master (MAS)

      • Project Linked Project 1 (LP1)

      • Project Linked Project 2 (LP2)

    • Create a couple of versions/components in both the Master & LP2

    • Create a project link from project Master to LP1 & LP2 using Version/Component Sync

    • Check the different projects to see what happens

Taking into account the information above, here are the two most common scenario’s with regards to creating project links:
