Is there going to be a time when the Zendesk-JIRA integration, "JIRA" app, authored by Zendesk, works with multiple JIRA instances? As of now in v4.0, the integration only supports a single JIRA instance, as seen here and: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203660206/comments/360000339867

We have two JIRA instances. We know that there is at least one alternative application that allow adding another JIRA instance to Zendesk to bypass the one JIRA instance only limitation that the existing app created by the Zendesk team contains, to allow for getting another instance to connect to have Zendesk-JIRA integration. However, all the alternative apps are pricey, about 40 cents per ticket created after the "Free" trial expires. However all of the alternative app options, including the "IntegrateCloud Zendesk-JIRA Integration" app, appear to be pay per use and can get very expensive for us when we have the need to link to and create an average of 10 Zendesk tickets to JIRA issues daily x .40 cents x 30 days = $120 USD per month, this is about what we pay for our entire monthly Zendesk subscription. Even though the app in this particular app in the Zendesk Marketplace is shown as "Price: Free", it is only free to install but it is still pay to use after the first 20 tickets are created, it would cost about 40 cents per ticket creation if we were to start actively using this alternative app, in addition adding comments via the "Notify" feature are charged per comment added. As seen on their Support FAQ page here (https://integratecloud.azuredesk.co/SupportHome/Index.aspx) mentioned in the "What is a transaction?" section:

If you create a ticket in Zendesk and send it to JIRA that is considered as 1 transaction. Now when you add some comments in JIRA for linked ticket and send back to Zendesk its considered as 1 transaction. So total 2 transactions. Every time integratecloud sync comments or any piece of information from Zendesk to JIRA or Vice Versa that will be considered as transaction.

I see the big downside to the "IntegrateCloud Zendesk-JIRA Integration" app in the Zendesk Marketplace is that it looks like this "Free" version is not free, only "Free for 20 tickets", and will expire after 20 ticket creations. The software author replied with the "Free for 20 tickets" comment seen in another Zendesk Help Center forum response. Once the "IntegrateCloud Zendesk-JIRA Integration" app times out it will cease to work and require a license and using their Price Calculator it would incur or estimate to be a 40 cents per ticket creation / linked ticket / new comment charge.

In addition, compared to the "JIRA" (Zendesk Support for JIRA) app, available in the Zendesk Marketplace, authored by Zendesk, that app is less buggy compared to the alternative apps that we have tried that support Zendesk-JIRA integration. We also do not like that we have to install, maintain, and have end-users utilize two different apps in their Zendesk ticket view just to allow the two different JIRA instances to work, and one app has a completely different UI compared to the other app, and in this case the alternative apps are somewhat buggy and somewhat less feature rich compared to the one authored by Zendesk. The main issue I have would be the cost in using an alternative Zendesk-JIRA app, we pay enough for our Zendesk and JIRA subscription to begin with to have to worry about a 40 cents cost per new or linked ticket and per comment fee (transactions) just so that we can have one more JIRA instance tied to our Zendesk.

Thank you.
