    More details

    This is a plug in for Thunderbird 68 which is able to create Jira issues out of e-mails or add the content of an e-mail as a comment on an issue.After the installation of the plug in you need to setup the URL to Jira and the login credentials in the preferences dialog of the Thunderbird extension. On a right click on an email you now will see two new items in the context menu: 'Create Jira Issue' and 'Add as Jira comment'. When you select one of them a new dialog window will open.

    It will *not* work in Thunderbird 78 as of now.

    Is largely untested and unsupported for Atlassian Cloud, i.e. *.atlassian.net instances.

    Hello! It seems that after last Thunderbird update (78.0) there is no menu positions "Create task in Jira" (or something like that) added by this plugin. Would you please investigate further and update this helpful plugin for compatibility with last TB. Thanks!

    Hi Sergey,

    as of Thunderbird versions 74 and newer the "old style" add-ons stopped working.This had been announced by Mozilla but we have not (yet) had the time to create a new add-on for Thunderbird 78+.One reason being the fact that we have to rewrite the complete add-on from scratch.

    When a new version is ready it will be made available here as well as via the standard Thunderbird update channels.

    Sorry for any inconveniences,

    Holger

    Hi Jakub,

    the next release will officially include the bugfix regarding the missing datepicker. Please go ahead and ask Aleksandra for the XPI file I provided her at the Jira Servicedesk Ticket.

    Thanks again for raising the issue in the first place.

    Cheers,

    Holger

    I had an issue with creating issues with accented issue types, contacted the support and they resolved it. Amazing support and really nice people. The plugin will be really useful for our support team. I would put a 5 stars ;)

    Great plugin. However, it appears that ever since TB introduced a modern message viewer (rather than the classic reader) when converting an email to a ticket only the subject is auto populated in the ticket and not the body of the email. Switching to classic reader and then using convert to issue menu works fine. The modern message viewer is much nicer than the classic viewer, so changing the view of a message to classic reader is a small bit of effort. Are there any work arounds? if you like a specific version number of TB, at least the current version 24.x has the issue and last several major versions did as well. Thank you for writing this plugin.

    Hi PM, as a matter of fact, I have only three options in a vanilla TB (24.x) to view my message's content: * full HTML * simple HTML * plain text and all three views submit their content properly into the issues form. So here is he question, did you install any kind of plugin to enhance the view? And please try this: Select (using the mouse) the text you want to see in the "description" field prior to creating the issue. If a section of the text is selected this selection is used instead. So you can usually either work around this problem or at least tell me whether it works. Did you install the Add-on "Thunderbird Conversations" from Jonathan Protzenko? That replaces the whole message pane with something that needs a very special handling I guess. Thanks for your help in advance, Holger

    Version (0.12.1) works fine with current Thunderbird 16.0.2. Be aware that only issue type, summary, description and reporter fields may be defined as required in the field configuration scheme. It took us some time to figure out this. Thanks for the plugin - Stefan

    Hi Stefan, please check out the new version 0.14.0.6. This should hopefully address your request. - Holger

    Great feature! Are you planning to develop this for gmail (online/web) business email?

    Hi Reijenha, as this is a Thunderbird/Seamonkey extenions, i.e. a "fat-client"-extension, at the moment the only suggestion I have for you is to connect gmail to Thunderbird anduse the extension from within Thunderbird. But I will think about a way to make this useable from a web-mail interface. - Holger
