With Jira connected, pick the Jira projects whose tickets back this project. When the project has more than one repo, Jira projects per repo lets each repo read only its own Jira projects (for example the app repo reads APP, the backend reads API). Repos left on All read the whole list. The Repos tab shows each repo's pick under its name; click it to change it.
