Each GitLab project can be configured to connect to a different JIRA instance.
Each GitLab project can be configured to connect to a different JIRA instance. That
means one GitLab project maps to _all_ JIRA projects in that JIRA instance once
the configuration is set up. Therefore, you don't have to explicitly associate
one GitLab project to any JIRA project. Once the configuration is set up, any JIRA
projects in the JIRA instance are already mapped to the GitLab project.
If you have one JIRA instance you can pre-fill the settings page with a default
template, see the [Services Templates][services-templates] docs.

| `Web URL` | The base URL to the JIRA instance web interface which is being linked to this GitLab project. E.g., `https://jira.example.com`. |
| `JIRA API URL` | The base URL to the JIRA instance API. Web URL value will be used if not set. E.g., `https://jira-api.example.com`. |
| `Project key` | Put a JIRA project key (in uppercase), e.g. `MARS` in this field. This is only for testing the configuration settings. JIRA integration in GitLab works with _all_ JIRA projects in your JIRA instance. This field will be removed in a future release. |
| `Username` | The user name created in [configuring JIRA step](#configuring-jira). |
| `Password` |The password of the user created in [configuring JIRA step](#configuring-jira). |
| `Transition ID` | This is the ID of a transition that moves issues to a closed state. You can find this number under JIRA workflow administration ([see screenshot](img/jira_workflow_screenshot.png)). **Closing JIRA issues via commits or Merge Requests won't work if you don't set the ID correctly.** |
