In the developer's words

Note: This plugin does not work with Jira Server or Jira Data Center

Get full context when turning designs to code with the Jira plugin for Dev Mode. With this plugin you can link Jira issues to Figma pages or layers so you always have the relevant info you need.

Use the plugin to…

  1. Import and link existing Jira issues to pages or layers in a Figma file, so that when developers are implementing designs they have all the relevant context they need easily accessible.
  2. View linked Jira issues directly in Figma, to help reduce context switching when additional context from Jira is needed during design implementation.
  3. Create new Jira issues directly from Figma, so that you can stay in flow even if you realize new issues need to be created as part of planning or handoff.

You can also attach Figma designs to issues in Jira and have them appear in Dev Mode, so you have all the relevant details on your project, always. Learn more here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217865/figma-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud
