- 🧩 Fixed template visibility issues caused by project mapping mismatches
Result:

🔄 Adopted new DC to Cloud Migration Listener
We’ve updated our DC to Cloud migration listener to align with Atlassian’s latest recommended approach. By moving to the new discoverable listener, we ensure continued compatibility, improved reliability, and a future-ready migration experience ☁️🚀.

Linked Issues field configuration now available in Spotlight & Helper app 🔗✨
The Linked Issues field now supports additional configuration options in both the Spotlight variable section and the Helper app (Confluence templates) 🎯
You can configure settings like link types to include and hide link type labels, bringing it in line with other supported fields and making customization clearer and more consistent across templates and the Confluence editor.

👤 Improved handling for missing user details in rule and template listings
We’ve enhanced the Rule Listing and Template Listing pages to ensure better clarity and consistency.
Previously, if the user details were missing, the Created by or Last modified by fields appeared blank or broken. Now, in such cases, you’ll see “No user found” displayed instead. 🙌
This update improves the overall readability and ensures your listings always look clean and informative. ✅

⚙️ Enhanced Comment Controls for ARNR Reports
The Comments feature in ARNR just got smarter. While comments were always supported, you can now fine-tune how they appear in your reports to better match your team's needs and reporting style.
🔧 What’s Improved

- Optional timestamp display → show or hide the comment creation date 🕒

You can now customize how linked issues appear in your reports! 🎉
We’ve added two new configuration options under JQL → Fields → Linked Issues → ⚙️ Additional Configuration:
You can now select specific issue link types. Example blocks, is blocked by, developed by to display in your reports. If none are selected, all linked issues will be shown by default.
Also, you can hide link type labels and display only the linked issue keys in a clean, unified list.

🚀 Enhanced AI Generator: Support for multiple input fields

You can now:
- Select from a wider range of Jira field types, including:
  - Single-line & multi-line text
  - Number, date, and date-time
  - User picker
  - Custom fields
- Choose up to 3 Jira fields as AI inputs using a new multi-select dropdown.
This means richer context for the AI and more accurate, detailed summaries across all the templates. ✨
