Initial release

Linksy - Advanced Issue Linking enhances Jira by allowing users to manage issue links using JQL filters and introduces user-friendly custom fields for an improved linking experience. This initial release focuses on simplifying complex linking tasks and providing greater control over how issues are connected.

Key features:

• Two custom fields: Introducing two new custom fields, 'Sync Issues with Jira Links' and 'Linked Issue Details Panel', designed to streamline the management of linked issues directly from the issue view.

• Sync issues with Jira links: This new custom field allows users to automatically synchronize linked issues based on predefined criteria, ensuring that all relevant connections are maintained accurately and efficiently.

• Linked issue details panel: A dedicated panel that provides detailed views of all issues linked to the current issue. This feature enhances visibility and access to linked issues, enabling faster navigation and management directly from the issue interface.

• Issue link resync: Implement a manual trigger that allows users to resync links to ensure all data is up-to-date. This function is crucial for maintaining the integrity of issue links, especially after changes in project configurations or JQL filters.

• Multiple contexts per field: Support for multiple contexts per custom field to cater to different project needs and configurations. This flexibility allows admins to define unique behaviors for the same field based on project-specific criteria.
