Jira work item contributes to Atlassian goal

The Teamwork Graph API is available through Forge's Preview release phase.

Preview features are available to all users and receive the same level of support as generally available features. Schemas, fields, and behavior may still change before general availability (GA), and breaking changes are subject to a minimum 1-month deprecation notice, announced in the Teamwork Graph changelog.

To review the current limitations, see Limitations and considerations.

To share feedback or report an issue, visit the Atlassian developer community.

The JiraWorkItemContributesToAtlassianGoal relationship represents the link between a Jira work item and a Atlassian goal within the Teamwork Graph. It allows you to:

Retrieve Atlas goals that a Jira epic contributes to
Find which Jira epics contribute to an Atlas goal
Traverse and analyze epic-goal-contribution relationships

Relationship type: Canonical

From object types	To object types
Jira work item - `ati:cloud:jira:issue`	Atlassian goal - `ati:cloud:townsquare:goal`

We recommend sending parameterized Cypher queries as below instead of embedding the parameters directly in the query string. This approach will help ensure better performance.
