Bug Description

When working with the tool I use the following workflow:

I copy the ticket URL from the browser (in JIRA)
I paste the ticket URL to jira-assistant

What now happens: the URL get cut, and the ticket information is gone

What I would expect: Ticket URL should extract ticket information.

Workaround: I copy the URL to the description field to manually extract the ticket reference.

I have ensured not to paste any confidential information like Jira url, Mail id, etc.
I have verified my browser console logs and added necessary details (if required)
I have added required screenshots if the bug is related to UI (as necessary)

@tyriis - Hi, thank you for reaching out to me. Based on your description, it means to me that earlier you were able to copy paste the Url itself and JA was good enough to parse the ticket number alone.

However, I have never implemented such functionality so far and I am not sure how it has been working so in first place. And if it has been working so earlier, then I have done nothing recently which would break such a functionality.

Any way, let me see if I could implement it.

@shridhar-tl thanks for your reply, I don't think it has been there before.

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.
