The Atlassian IntelliJ Connector allows you to monitor, add and update JIRA issues in your integrated development environment.

This page tells you how to add an issue to your JIRA site from within IntelliJ IDEA. For more about interacting with your issues within your IDE, refer to Using JIRA in the IntelliJ Connector.

To add a new JIRA issue:

  1. Select your JIRA server from the dropdown list on the connector tool bar. (See screenshot of connector window below.)
  2. Click the plus icon on the tool bar.
  3. A 'Create JIRA Issue' dialogue box opens, as shown below. The information requested is the same as required when you add an issue using the JIRA UI:
    • Project — Select the JIRA project on the JIRA server.
    • Type — Select the issue type, as defined within the JIRA project.
    • Priority — Select the priority of the issue.
    • Summary — Enter the title of your JIRA issue.
    • Description — Enter a detailed description of the problem you wish to record or the feature you wish to request.
    • Assignee — Enter the JIRA username of the person to whom you wish to assign this issue. If you leave this field empty, the issue will be added as 'unassigned'.
      Note that the username is only validated when the request reaches the JIRA server. If the username is unrecognised, you will receive a remote validation exception message at the bottom of the connector panel and the issue will not be added. Please try again.
  4. Click the 'Create' button to add the issue to the selected JIRA server.
