Jira Software Development Information Provider

The devops:developmentInfoProvider module allows Forge apps to send development information to Jira and associate it with an issue.

Supplied development information will be presented in the development panel of the issue it is associated with.

Development information is written and deleted via the Jira Software REST API which can be accessed by Forge apps using the requestJira function.

When a user uninstalls an app, all the data that the app sent to Jira is deleted immediately. If the app is reinstalled, this data won't be added back unless the app resends historical information to Jira.
