FAQ

Questions about Linear + Jira.

When does Jira + Linear sync make sense?
Migrations (gradual cutover), M&A (acquired team uses different tracker), or different teams that picked different tools. The pair keeps work visible in both while you decide on standardization.
How do I avoid duplicate issues?
Store the foreign ID on each side — Jira custom field "Linear ID", Linear comment or label with Jira key. Upsert by looking up the foreign ID before deciding create vs. update.
Should I sync status both ways?
Pick one side as source-of-truth for status (whichever team owns the work). Sync status one-way from there. Bidirectional status sync ping-pongs and breaks the trackers' workflows.
How do I map Jira projects to Linear teams?
Maintain (jira_project_key → linear_team_id) lookup. The workflow consults at Create Issue time. Updates use the lookup to find the matching destination.
Can I sync Jira custom fields to Linear?
Linear has limited custom fields. For structured fields (priority, estimate, labels), direct mapping works. For free-form custom data, stuff it into Linear description as a structured block.
How do I sync comments between the two?
One direction only. Pick the side where engineers actually comment (Linear usually) and mirror to the other. Bidirectional comment sync causes duplication and threading confusion.
