FAQ

General

What is CodeContext for Jira?

CodeContext is a Jira Marketplace app that links tickets to specific code locations in your repositories. It uses AI to generate detailed ticket descriptions based on the linked code, giving developers immediate context when they pick up a ticket.

Which Jira versions are supported?

CodeContext works with Jira Cloud only. Jira Server and Data Center are not supported.

Which Git providers are supported?

Currently, GitHub is supported. GitLab and Bitbucket support is planned for future releases.

Setup

Do I need admin access to install CodeContext?

Yes, you need Jira site admin permissions to install the app. Project admin permissions are required to connect repositories.

Is my code stored by CodeContext?

No. CodeContext fetches code on-demand via the GitHub API. File contents are used temporarily for analysis and are not persisted.

Usage

Can I link multiple entry points to one ticket?

Not currently. Each ticket supports a single entry point to keep things focused. This may change in future releases.

Can I edit the AI-generated description?

Yes. AI-generated descriptions are always presented as suggestions. You have full control to edit, modify, or discard the content before saving.

What happens if my repository is disconnected?

Existing entry points will show the last known state. New entry points cannot be created until the repository is reconnected.
