Issue Collector Mode
With our "create issue as" feature you can utilize the bot to create issues for non-jira users.
How it works:
- A Jira user configures the channel to create issues on-behalf-of their Jira account
- Users utilize the slash command or slack action to create issues in the channel. These users can only use the default project and issue type.
- The configured Jira user is the "creator" of the issue, a note is added to the description automatically to tell you who the Slack user was that created the issue.
