- Open a jira request backport in https://github.com/ahungry/org-jira

- Check to see that there isnt an MR outstanding bysomeone else ( using https://github.com/isamert/lab.el )

- (Optional) Cherry pick the commit from another stream where it may be fixed (magit-cherry-pick)

- Often massage the code (emacs cedet)

- Commit the code (magit)

- Submit a build (local built in code, elisp calling a local binary)

- Tag the build as the correct type (magit)

- Update the jira status (org-jira again)

- Wait for testing to complete, watch (eww)

- Email the requester on test results (wanderlust)

I also use:

- Some slack client for emacs (i dont remember the name)

- slime connected to nyxt brower so that I can automate some of the garbage that requires javascript.

Can you share details of your experience with org-jira? My question would be: Is it feature complete? Does it allow one to do everything one can do in browser Jira? Set custom fields, handle multiple boards and so on?

> Is it feature complete?

Its enough for me to complete my day to day work.

>Does it allow one to do everything one can do in browser Jira?

I dont think it can do the dashboards and reporting metrics, but for the 'issue' work yes.

> Set custom fields

Yes. Although i had to maintain a map of custom field names to what they actually were, or you'd see cf_023042432 as the name.

> handle multiple boards

I don't use jira this way to know what it means, is that the same as multiple project prefixes (if so yes, i dont know what boards are).
