Ability to Link Bitbucket Commits and Pull Requests to Old Jira Issue Keys After Project Key Change

    • 1

      Description:
      Currently, when a Jira project key is changed (e.g., from ABC to DEF), all existing references to the old issue key (e.g., ABC-123) in Bitbucket commits, pull requests, and branches lose their automatic linkage to Jira issues. This breaks traceability and the development panel integration for historical work.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create a Jira project with issue key prefix ABC.
      1. Push commits to Bitbucket referencing that issue key (e.g., commit message: "ABC-123 my test commit").
      1. Change the Jira project key from ABC to DEF
      1. In Bitbucket, observe that previous commits referencing ABC-123 are no longer linked to Jira.

      Feature Request:
      Please implement the ability for Bitbucket Cloud to recognize and link to Jira issues using both current and previous project keys, maintaining traceability and integration even after a project key change in Jira.

      Business Impact:

      • Maintains historical traceability between code and issues.
      • Reduces manual effort to maintain links after project key changes.
      • Prevents loss of context in development and audit trails.
