Set default field values for Team Board issues

In the ALM configuration for Jira you can define fields which should be filled out whenever a new issue gets created from the piplanning app.

This is most useful when:

• There are fields which are mandatory and have to be filled out every-time a new issue gets created.

The values have to be formatted as JSON, in a Jira field-specific syntax.

Epic-link

If your Jira is setup in a way that it requires for any team-level issue (Story, Bug...) to be linked to an epic, you need to specify this by a specific syntax:

{"EPICLINK":"<issue key of a random existing epic>"}

{"EPICLINK":"PROG-2"}
