I am sure that I am already using latest version of Jira Assistant
I had verified that there are no existing requests with similar suggestion in issue tracker
I had verified that, my query is not answered in FAQ section of website

How do you use Jira Assistant?

Web version

Are you using cloud version of Jira or self hosted (data center / server) of Jira.

Self hosted (datacenter)

Version of Jira Assistant

2.47

Feature Suggestion

I would like to be able to make changes to issues other than adding worklogs. For example, the first thing I think would be useful is the ability to add a comment to an issue. I know I can currently add a worklog comment, but I am referring to the issue comment.

Other simple changes would be nice as well, e.g., status, assigned to, etc.

Thanks

Checklist before you submit

I have ensured not to paste any confidential information like Jira url, Mail id, etc.
I have added required screenshots (as necessary)

@jhallerpi - Thank you for your suggestion. This is already being discussed as part of #7. Referencing the ticket here for tracking purpose. Primarily in Jira Assistant I try to provide features which is not directly available or which is hard to achieve directly in Jira. This feature is already part of Jira and is simple and straight forward to achieve it.

One practical issue with implementing this is, once such feature is introduced, there is no end for what all fields to be included. Each user would have unique opinions and use cases and would be really hard to satisfy all the users.

So I will have this feature on hold for now and will try to implement it based on popularity. However if you have any ideas/suggestion on how/where this feature can be implemented within Jira Assistant, please feel free to provide those details. I will try to allocate some bandwidth for that when ever possible.

Thank you for you quick response and apologies for not finding #7 before submitting.

I completely understand your reasoning and that you aren't trying to create a complete front end for Jira.

Latest updates

27-Nov-2023 - Change in permissions for JA

In upcoming version (v2.58) of JA, by default, permission to access Cloud instance of Jira would be added. This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page. However, for Firefox and Edge, extension already have access to all the sites (though it doesn't really need) which would be narrowed down only to atlassian.net which would be a security improvement.

03-Jan-2023 - Auto update would take time

Jira Assistant is now updated in phased basis to avoid any breaking changes impacting all users. So it may take long time before your extension gets updated. If you want to manually update it immediately, just navigate to "chrome://extensions", turn on "Developer mode" from top right corner and click Update button. Then you can turn off dev mode.

Jira Assistant can now be installed within your Jira Cloud as an App. Once installed, this would be available for all your Jira users. Visit https://www.jiraassistant.com to know more.
