Connnect more than one JIRA instance
When working with external partners they often use their own JIRA instance. You can connect them via the JIRA application link feature with your own JIRA instance and are able to set links between issues in the two JIRA instances this way.
It would be great to be able to display linked issues from the remote JIRA in your own structures.

Nora, thanks for the feedback! It's helpful. No promises on dates, but we'll definitely look into that idea.

Hi Igor, thanks for the quick response!
* Would you be able to install an additional (free) plugin on the external JIRA?
This would surely be something that would cause a lot of discussion with our partners. So preferable not.
* Would it be ok if remote issues could show only standard JIRA fields (no custom fields)?
Yes, that's sufficient.
* Would it be ok if remote issues could be only viewed, but not edited? And no way to create issues on the external system.
Yes, that's no problem. We need it mostly to get an overview for distributed development projects.
* Would it be ok if you had no way to search on the external system? Only pick issues by issue key or through a remote issue link (via extender, for example).
Yes, we are used to this already. :)
* Would you need to connect to more than one external JIRAs? How would you like to differentiate between them if you have local issues and remote issues from different sources in the same grid?
This would be a nice-to-have feature. We can recognize them by their issue key. So we don't have any special requirements on this.

Hi Nora, thanks for the idea!
It has been suggested several times already. We certainly can do that in the same way we integrated Confluence with Structure.Pages.
I have the following questions for you to understand how solution might work:
* Would you be able to install an additional (free) plugin on the external JIRA?
* Would it be ok if remote issues could show only standard JIRA fields (no custom fields)?
* Would it be ok if remote issues could be only viewed, but not edited? And no way to create issues on the external system.
* Would it be ok if you had no way to search on the external system? Only pick issues by issue key or through a remote issue link (via extender, for example).
* Would you need to connect to more than one external JIRAs? How would you like to differentiate between them if you have local issues and remote issues from different sources in the same grid?Thanks!
Kind regards,
Igor
