Hi Ian thanks for posting in the community!

You can create new Jira issues from within Lucidspark by integrating Lucid Cards with Jira. For more information on this integration please review this Help Center article. Though this integration is currently only available for Lucidspark you can import or create your Jira task in Lucidspark and then transition your document to Lucidchart using the universal canvas feature. For more information on universal canvas please review this Help Center article. 

Please note: the Lucid Cards for Jira integration (including Jira Cloud Jira Data Center and Jira Server) as well as the universal canvas feature is only available to Enterprise accounts. See the Upgrade your Lucid account article for instructions to upgrade.
