Issue description in Markdown

[matthiasa4]

First of all - great tool that helps me stay sane and avoid the JIRA UI altogether.

I am embarking on a new project and I was thinking the following feature would be useful: bulk issue creation enabled by making the full issue description possible in a yaml file. This would include the things usually specified as flags in the jira command: -tBug -s"Test" -yHigh -a [email protected] --template test.md.

The idea would be to have a YAML-style issue description in the style of:

type: Bug
summary: Test
priority: High
assignee: [email protected]
template: /path/to/template.md

with the potential option of having the issue description inline in the YAML file as well.

I didn't find this functionality yet, and it would be useful to either 1) script all the issues to create 2) even include a jira create issue bulk pointing to a folder with said YAML files.

Thoughts? :)

Love this, just wanted to mention that I filed a discussion for the mirror of this, being able to render an existing JIRA issue as Markdown, in Add jira issue view PD-1234 --md · ankitpokhrel/jira-cli · Discussion #823
