Issue Details

Select an issue in the Jira Issues tool window to view its details. They appear in a quick details panel next to the list, which Toggle Quick Details hides; Open Details in New Tab opens the issue in its own tab instead.

Events & Comments​

The Events & Comments tab shows the issue's comments and activity. Use the Browsing Mode action to switch between all activity, comments only, comments by or excluding specific authors, and draft comments only.

Add a comment with the Create General Comment action. Submit sends it to Jira immediately, while Save Draft keeps it locally; Submit All Drafts sends all drafts at once.

Changing Status​

To change an issue's status, open the Fields tab and edit the Status field. It offers the workflow transitions available from the issue's current status.

Branch for Issue​

To start working on an issue, use Branch for Issue in the issue details panel toolbar. The popup lists the branch you last used for this issue and any other branch whose name contains the issue ID, so selecting one checks it out. Create/Checkout Branch… creates a new branch instead. When the IDE's bundled Task Management plugin is enabled, the popup also offers Switch to Issue Task.

The suggested branch name comes from the Issue branch name format field in Settings | Jira Integration Pro. Literal text in the format is kept as typed, so feature/{id} creates the branch in a feature directory.

Besides Refresh Issue, Copy Link, Open in Browser, and Open Details in New Tab, the details panel toolbar offers:
