Problem

There is a bug on the integration between IDEs like Webstorm and JIRA, although the support for IDE in JIRA was discontinued.

The bug was reported originally in our JIRA support site to be fixed since when using this integration our users were being logged out of JIRA.You can see the bug reported here:
JRA-42154

Since this issue was related to a connector, the bug was moved to the Connector's project:
PL-3051

Suggestion

Add any kind of compatibility or feature where the user does not face the login intermittent issue when making API calls to JIRA.

Workarounds

I was able to find some workarounds on my research that might be useful, although it's necessary an additional license in JIRA, which is inconvenient for our customers

• Change the password of your own account, so if an unknown app / service was using your account and destroying the sessions it no longer could
• Create a dedicated account and use it credentials to connect Webstorm and Jira. In this way, Webstorm could no longer destroy the sessions of your own account.
• You can upgrade to snapshot versions in the Global Settings -> General -> Auto Upgrade section of the connector's configuration. (This workaround was suggested PL-3051 comments).
