Introduction
Project association is the matching of incoming emails to project in JIRA. When there is an incoming email and NO issue has been associated to the message, a new issue will be created in the associated project. There are a several mechanisms through which project association can be achieved, each with varying levels of strength. These will now be discussed, in the order that JEMHC uses to look for an association.
Project Key Directive
With a field processor enabled, a directive can be used to drive issue creation to a specific project.
For example, the At(@) Prefix field processor allows the following directive to direct the email to a project (in this example EX):
@project=EX
Project Mapping
The most common way to create issue in a project is by selecting the project in the Profile's Project Mapping. If the message applies to one of the Project Mapping's rule, the issue will be create in the Project Mapping's selected project falling back to Default Project Mapping's project.
