Question: Triggering Jira from Confluence/Comala Document Management and vice versa?

In regards to the question about using a trigger in Confluence/Comala Document Management to create a Jira issue, that is available via a Scriptrunner script. This Adaptavist blog talks about it generally, https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/confluence/recipes/comala-workflows.html. Essentially, the script is listening for the final approval event, and when that happens it creates a Jira issue. The question was actually the reverse - can a Jira issue trigger a Document Management action. This is not available, but is an interesting use case. For it to work, we would likely need to lean on scripting again as we aren’t working on anything like that at the moment.
