Related work on the Development page
This feature is currently in beta.
This means that the feature may not be available to everyone, the functionality may be limited, and it will change as we continue to develop it.
The related work section contains details of work from apps connected to Jira, for example, pull requests and security vulnerabilities. This is where you can drill down into the specifics, see who’s working on what, and jump straight to the code details if you need to. It helps ensure you always have the context to support your team and drive delivery. You stay close to the actual work, making it easy to investigate issues, monitor risks, and track progress to help your team ship secure, reliable code faster.
Linked pull requests
The related work section displays a list of all pull requests linked to work items in your current project. You can go to a pull request to view its details as long as you have access to the corresponding repository.
To view pull requests in the related work section:
Connect a source code management app to Jira. Your Jira site admin can do this for you. Read more about integrating Jira with development apps
Reference work items in pull request titles. Team members must include Jira work item keys in pull request titles to link them to your Jira project. Find out how to reference work items in your development projects
Once this is done, you’ll see:
all pull requests linked to work items in your project within the last 30 days
pull requests linked previously but updated within the last 30 days
Security vulnerabilities
The related work section on the Development page in Jira displays a list of security vulnerabilities sourced from security containers connected to your Jira project. You can go to each vulnerability to view its details as long as you have access to the corresponding security container.
This feature enables your team to triage vulnerabilities, link them to work items, and track their resolution—all within Jira. By transforming unplanned security issues into actionable work, your team can maintain a strong focus on security while balancing regular delivery priorities.
To view security vulnerabilities in the related work section, a Jira project admin must:
Connect a security app to your Jira site. Read more about connecting a security app
Connect security containers to your project. Find out how to connect security containers
Once this is done, you’ll see the list the vulnerabilities from your connected security containers.
