Has anyone else tried playing around w/ the new JIRA connector app? It seems honestly a step back from before somehow.
A few reasons below:
I can no longer automatically have an item populate within a specific group within a board. So before if you want to populate say a “Development and Testing” group for a specific project you no longer can.
You are now forced to select a specific issue type from JIRA, no longer can you select All. Which means setting up multiple integrations for stories, spikes, etc. which is unnecessary overhead.
The integration itself seems buggy. You update an item in JIRA, the Monday.com integration activity log says successful, nothing shows up on your board.
If they’re truly deprecating the existing connector this will be a nightmare. Has anyone had any luck with the new connector yet?
The 2 issues here have been highlighted and I completely agree -
You need to create an integration recipe for each issue type you have on the Jira project, before you could just select issue(any) and it was all good.
Why are subtasks not supported??? (Aghhhhh)
If anyone finds any solution to this, HMU!
Monday team please just let us choose issue(any)…
this completely ruined one of the main reasons we chose monday.com. PLEASE FIX THIS MONDAY
I’ve spend thousands of dollars and 100s of hours to be now wasted
I think the Issue Sync app could solve the problem entirely. It’s a reliable tool providing two-way synchronization between Jira Cloud and monday. It’s highly customizable (you can specify with JQL not only issue types but all other elements of the project/s). It supports many fields and on top of that, you can migrate issues from Jira to monday retaining the field values and relevant, customizable mappings. You can give it a try
Monday-Jira integration is very buggy for me. The connector says that jira ticket can be created only when a row gets created in Monday. What I am noticing sporadically is that monday-jira integration gets triggered and new jira item gets created even on row update sometimes where it’s not expected.

And for the issue type limitation, I found that setting up different integrations for stories and spikes was a bit of a hassle too.
As for the difference between epic and story in jira, understanding that really helped me streamline how I manage projects. Epics are great for big-picture planning, while stories break down the details. It might be worth exploring workarounds or reaching out to support. Hang in there!
I can help you set up an efficient automation system to tackle the challenges you’re facing with the new JIRA connector app.
I 'll create custom automations to ensure items populate within specific groups on your boards. This will mimic the previous functionality and streamline your workflow.
I’ll set up multiple integrations for different issue types (stories, spikes, etc.) to handle the new requirement, minimizing the overhead by leveraging templates and reusable components.
I’ll troubleshoot and fix the integration bugs to ensure updates in JIRA reflect accurately on Monday.com. This will involve reviewing logs, adjusting settings, and possibly scripting custom solutions if needed
