#57 - Jira assistant errors out when account name has an apostrophe in it

photoghog commented on Oct 29, 2019

We have a JIRA user who has an ' in her username. Whenever she tries to do anything in JA, she gets the following error message. Is there a way to fix this without have to rebuild her id?

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.
