Issue Tracking Systems
The Issue Tracking Systems page, which can be accessed through selecting the Issue Tracking tab on the Integrations page and clicking the Providers button on the top right of the table, allows the management of integrations into the third-party issue tracking systems. FlexDeploy currently provides out-of-box integration with Atlassian Jira, Redmine, Azure Boards, GitLab, and GitHub. You can define a custom implementation using either Java class or Groovy script. FlexDeploy reads ticket(s) from SCM commit message comments during build execution. As an example, if you use SVN when committing a change back to the repository, simply put the issue name in the commit comment (case sensitive). Some SCMs require clients installed on the FlexDeploy Server.
