The current API does not support programmatically creating an integration link and selecting the “use_remote / commit from Jira” option in the same flow (or at all), so the UI can do something the API cannot.
Automation is blocked: linking Aha features to Jira issues and enforcing “Jira as source of truth” can’t be done in scripts/integrations.
Leads to manual UI work, inconsistent sync behavior, and higher risk of data drift between Aha and Jira at scale.
Introduce an API capability (e.g., a new integration_links endpoint or an enhancement to existing integration-field/link endpoints) that allows clients to create the link between an Aha record (e.g., feature) and a Jira object and explicitly choose the initial sync direction (e.g., use_remote=true / commit=remote), triggering an immediate “pull from Jira and overwrite Aha” operation equivalent to the UI workflow.
