How to deploy JIRA changes?

Marco Nowak

We established a deployment process for our JIRA changes (workflow changes, new custom fields, scheme changes etc). We do this at our test environment and once a month we do these changes on production all manually again.

Is there a better way to somekind of "export" changes from one instance and "import" it to another instead of doing all the work twice?

Hello!

 

Yes, you can check this guide to 'promote configuration changes from staging to production'.

There really isn't a good way to do this. My approach was to create mirror projects that only I could see and create new workflows, fields, screens, schemes, etc. and apply them to the mirror project. After I'm happy with those I apply them to the real projects. I use version numbers for updated workflows, screens, etc. Since everything is in the same JIRA instance there is no problem moving them. I do have a development instance for testing plugins and new versions of JIRA.

Thanks so far. But as I understand, I can only snapshot the complete instance or whole projects.

Isn´t there a way for workflows so that these can be exported and imported?

Project Configurator can do full or partial transfer of config, including workflows.

Configuration Manager from Botron is what I use; otherwise you will have to spend a lot of manual time doing the same changes in Prod from Test or Dev.
