Michael Lucas (ID: 000000938e8e110e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 This is a great add on to Jira, enabling teams to easily share Jira subject+ reference in internal communication rather than just the Jira reference which we don't relate to, hence subject inclusion being the key, makes for finding stories far more easier within your internal systems (Email, Slack, Teams).
