Inserting new Jira Issues from Add-On

[paul-lemon]

Another request from the team who've tested the add-on When editing issues and then updating JIRA they would like to be able to create new ones. Proposed Workflow

1. User populates spreadsheet using "LIst Issuses from Filter"
2. User edits some issues and adds rows for new Issues
3. User selects the "Update Jira Issues" menu item
4. The add-on detects there are rows with blank Keys and offers the user an input box to enter the project key to insert Issues in
5. The input box for project key is populated by the first issue with a project key (extracting the issue number) e.g. if the first issue with a key is "PBJ-233" - "PBJ" is offered
6. When the add-on processes the list any rows with a blank key has a new issue created
7. When this is complete the rows where the issues have been created have the key field populated with the new key

Technical challenges

1. Some fields cannot be added when an issue is new e.g. Status
2. More field complications

Thoughts...

This is a very good feature to have. Is there a plan for it soon?
