Jira -> Trello synchronization

This page provides information on Jira -> Trello synchronization with Trello Sync for Jira app.

This type of synchronization means everything is synced from Jira to Trello and not vice-versa. If there are updates on the synced tasks, for example comments or attachments in Trello card, they will not be synced back.

Jira fields which can be synchronized with Trello card parameters are listed below:

• Summary (selected by default and can’t be changed)
• Description
• Due date
• Labels
• Attachments
• Comments

• Issue type
• Priority
• Epic name
• Epic link
• Reporter
• Fix version
• Original estimated duration
• Sprint

Two options are also available in the configuration:

• Put issue key as prefix of summary field: Allows to add issue key to summary field in the Trello card.
• Synchronize subtasks: Allows to synchronize subtasks in Jira issue to Trello cards.
