Can one JIRA instance create an issue in a separate JIRA instance using a workflow function?

[Paul Stahlke]

We have two business units that use separate JIRA instances. However, we share a process where it would be helpful to have once instance automatically create a similar issue in the other instance using a workflow function. How could that be achieved? Thank you.

You've pretty much put the answer in the tags that you used... you can create an issue in the other instance through soap or rest using a post-function.

What do you need help with, using the remote API?

Also consider maybe using trackbacks or in jira 5, remote issue linking to avoid duplication.

My baby can do it. You can even run scripts in the other Jira.

Last link actually shows how to do it.

You'll need to write some code to do that. The first Jira should invoke some form of REST connection to post the data you need into the second one (i.e. I'm saying there's no off-the-shelf way of doing this). You'll then need to worry about synchronisation and data exchanges...
