Add Approvers and ability to Approve directly in Jira

Jeremy

One of the biggest things we were looking at for usage of the plugin was the ability to have BAs/QAs not have to go into BitBucket to approve Pull Requests and be able to add Approvers directly from Jira.

View PR approved status in jira board

Jira board shows an icon representing GH PRs when a ticket has associated PR(s). This icon changes when the PR is merged, this is really useful to have a quick overview before navigating to the PR in github.

It would be great to also have a different icon when the PR has been approved in github (or another icon when rejected because it requires changes)

Love this. Thanks, Jeremy.

How does the user know who should be added as an approver? Is there anything about them that we could use to suggest appropriate people to add?
Can you tell me a little more about the process your team uses to approve a PR? What would they need to see in Jira to make it possible to approve the PR?

John Nelson: Well we do have a field called Business Unit which has values for PHS, Claims, HR, IT - Based on the value there it would be good to have the BAs/QAs for that Business Unit added or at least one or even the ability to select one of them.
So basically to approve a PR - the BAs/QAs test in a sandbox and if it looks good - they approve to master which then gets built and deployed to our Integrated Development environment.
But even just having the ability to have the ability to Approve Pull Requests from Jira would help.
