This is a Jenkins plugin which updates issues in Jira (by changing their status, adding a comment or updating field values) as part of a Jenkins job. Possible scenarios in which you might want to use it: - in case you would like to announce or just log in Jira that the deployment of certain fixes / issues the acceptance server has completed (this makes sense if you already use Jenkins to deploy your applications to the acceptance web/app server). - in case you would like to progress multiple Jira issues in the workflow (bulk changing the status of multiple Jira issues) and/or add a comment to issues after a Jenkins job has successfully completed. - in case you would like to update fields in the Jira - (Currently not supported) in case you would like Jenkins to update multiple issues when a new version of one of your projects is released (this makes sense if you use the "maven release plugin" and you trigger it from Jenkins). Inputs: - the Jira REST URL (e.g. http://something.com/rest/api/2) - the Jira username and password to be used to connect to Jira (only Basic username:password auth is supported) - a JQL query selecting the issues to be updated (e.g. project="JENKINS" and status="Pending deploy") - the name of the workflow action to be executed (not mandatory) - the message to be added (can use environment variable substitution) to each issue (not mandatory) - The field name and value to be used (not mandatory) NOTE: The JQL can also contain "~" matches, "project = DEPLOY and summary ~ $APP_NAME and summary ~ $LATEST_TAG" will match "Deploy TTSGateway v0.4.32" in the variable $APP_NAME is "TTSGateway" and $LATEST_TAG is "v0.4.32" Debugging: - If you want to see debug messages, add an environment variable "JIRA_ISSUE_UPDATER_DEBUG=TRUE" to the environment
