Update Issue
AutomatR.Jira.Activities.UpdateIssue
The "Update Issue" activity in AutomatR's Jira package uses the Jira API to modify details of a specific issue. This activity provides flexibility in updating various aspects of an issue, such as the summary, description, project key, and issue type.
Once you set the Issue field, you can set the Issue dynamically with the help of variables, so that the fields stay on your canvas. Alternatively, you can use a different ticket key to bring in different set of fields.
- You can only update an issue where all the fields or a subset of the fields apply.
- You can only update an issue where all the fields or a subset of the fields apply.
- You can use the Update Record activity with an Issues object when dynamically creating a Jira issue.
NOTE: The authenticated Jira account must have sufficient permissions to the respective resource in each activity.

Example: Consider an example where the "Update Issue" activity is used to modify the summary and description of a Jira issue:
Update Issue:
Ticket ID: "JRA-123"
Summary: "Updated Issue Summary"
Description: "This is the updated issue description."
Result: updatedIssue
In this example, the activity updates the Jira issue with Ticket ID "JRA-123" by changing the summary to "Updated Issue Summary" and the description to "This is the updated issue description." The result of the operation is stored in the variable "updatedIssue" for further handling in the workflow.
