# Jira Product Discovery Integration
This guide outlines the steps to integrate with **Jira Product Discovery (JPD).**
{% hint style="info" %}
Due to current Jira limitations, account-level apps **cannot create JPD issues**. To enable issue creation for Jira Product Discovery issues, **you must authenticate using your Jira user account**.\
\
Ensure your Jira account has:
* Access to the target JPD project
* Permission to create and update issues
{% endhint %}
Use this guide to set up integration with **Jira Product Discovery (JPD).**
## Authorize to Jira
Go to **Preference** in Extension Settings.\
\
Scroll to the **JPD Integration** section.
Click **Authorize to Jira.**
In the dialog, **select the site** that matches your Jira base URL\
⚠️ *This is important for the integration to work correctly*
Wait a few seconds and confirm that the connection status is **connected**
## Configure Custom fields to store association data
Since JPD does not support UI panels, you need to store association data in custom fields.
In Jira, go to **Custom Fields**
**Create the following fields**:
* A **Short text** field to store ticket list \
\
* A **Number** field to store number of associated tickets (optional) \
\
\
Navigate to your JPD project Settings. Click on Fields.\
Then, Add these fields to your **JPD project.**
Select Add global field.
Select fields and click on Add.\
\
Once the fields are created, go back to the Zoho Desk extension Preference.
**Select the created fields** under the JPD Integration section.
Click **Save Fields.**
Ensure the custom fields are properly populated with association data when new issues are created.
