Change 'Parent' field in Jira Issue Macro to display colored lozenge per 'Issue Colors'

      TLDR;

      New Jira field 'Parent' came to replace former 'Epic Link', but it doesn't work the same way within Jira Issue macro for Confluence. The look & feel needs to be adjusted.

      As announced in the links below, the field 'Epic Link' was deprecated in favor of new 'Parent' field for Jira Issues. These changes were mostly transparent from Jira perspective since for all Boards/Backlogs "parent epics appear in the lozenge on each listed issue":

      However, the 'Parent' field in Jira Issue macros for Confluence does not present the same look & feel from the former 'Epic Link':

      While 'Epic Link' field presents a colored lozenge per 'Epic Color' field (also deprecated), the new 'Parent' field only displays an Issue Type icon and a direct link to the issue (similar to SmartLinks), instead of a colored lozenge according to new 'Issue Color' field.

      It's mentioned the existing 'Epic Link'/'Epic Color' fields are not going anywhere for now, but they are being automatically replaced by Parent & Issue Color in Jira.
      We need to update the Jira Issue Macro to follow that and be ready in case the deprecated field be gone.
