Hey @fallais, yeah, sure. Thanks for this issue. integrating and adding support for the context package is something we would love to have. Right now, we have a few methods with a suffix WithContext that support it already. However, it is not widely implemented yet, but we are happy to receive PRs on this.

As a side note: We are collecting ideas for v2 to fix several topics in this package, see https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-jira/issues/200

Hey,

I am very sorry that this issue has been open for a long time with no final solution. We work on this project in our spare time, and sometimes, other priorities take over. This is the typical open source dilemma.

However, there is news: We are kicking off v2 of this library 🚀

To provide visibility, we created the Road to v2 Milestone and calling for your feedback in https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-jira/issues/489

The development will take some time; however, I hope you can benefit from the changes. If you seek priority development for your issue + you like to sponsor it, please contact me.

What does this mean for my issue?

We will work on this issue indirectly. This means that during the development phase, we aim to tackle it. Maybe in a different way like it is currently handled. Please understand that this will take a while because we are running this in our spare time.

Final words

Thanks for using this library. If there is anything else you would like to tell us, let us know!
