Authenticating with Jira
Use the /jira connect and /jira disconnect commands to manage the connection between your Mattermost account and Jira account.
Creating a Jira issue
Use the /jira issue create command to create a Jira issue within Mattermost. A form will show that will allow you to fill out the issue. You can prepopulate the issue's summary using the command:
/jira issue create This is my issue's summary
Transition Jira issues
Transition issues without the need to switch to your Jira project. To transition an issue, use the /jira transition <issue-key> <state> command.
For instance, /jira transition EXT-20 done transitions the issue key EXT-20 to Done.

Note:
States and issue transitions are based on your Jira project workflow configuration. If an invalid state is entered, an ephemeral message is returned mentioning that the state couldn't be found.
Partial matches work. For example, typing /jira transition EXT-20 in will transition to In Progress.  However, if there are states of In Review, In Progress, the plugin bot will ask you to be more specific and display the partial matches.
Assign Jira issues
Assign issues to other Jira users without the need to switch to your Jira project. To assign an issue, use the /jira assign command. For instance, /jira assign EXT-20 john transitions the issue key EXT-20 to John.
Note:
Partial Matches work with Usernames and Firstname/Lastname
