The Atlassian IntelliJ Connector allows you to monitor, add and update JIRA issues in your integrated development environment.
This page tells you how to select the JIRA issues to be displayed within IntelliJ IDEA, by configuring your issue filters.
For more about interacting with your issues within your IDE, refer to Using JIRA in the IntelliJ Connector.
On this page:
Getting Started with the JIRA Issues Filter
Screenshot: JIRA tab of the connector window
- First, select your JIRA server from the dropdown list in the connector tool bar. This list will show all JIRA servers defined in the connector configuration panel. (See Configuring the IntelliJ Connector.)
- Now you will see all relevant JIRA issues on that server.
The connector will 'remember' your selection of the JIRA server and filter next time you start your IDE.
- Decide how to filter the issues on the server — there are two ways to do this:
- Use the filters defined on the JIRA server. These filters cannot be modified by the connector. You can run the filter and display results in the JIRA tab of the connector.
- Or define your filter locally in the connector window and send the filter values to the JIRA server.
Using Filters Defined on the JIRA Server
- Put a tick in the 'Use server filters' checkbox in the connector window.
- Select the saved filter from the dropdown list. This list will show all saved filters which you have permission to view on the JIRA server.
- Click the 'Refresh' icon
.
If your filter does not appear in the list, click the selected JIRA server in the dropdown list again. This will refresh the list of filters.
For more information on JIRA filters, please refer to the JIRA documentation.
Using Filters Defined in the Connector
- Click the
icon on the connector's JIRA tab. The filter definition panel will open, as shown below.

The filter definition panel provides a number of criteria which you can use to filter the issues. You can collapse and expand sections of the panel by clicking the arrow icons and on the left of the panel.
- Select one or more criteria.
For each criterion, you can select multiple values by Control-clicking (Windows/Linux) or Command-clicking (OS X).
- Click the 'Apply' icon
to apply and save your filter.
The filter definition view contains the following icons:
— Applies the defined filter and saves it, so that it is used next time you restart your IDE.
— Cancels the definition of the filter and opens the issue list view.
— Resets the filter to default values.
