Issue Summary

In Github, when the pull request is auto approved and merged using the github-bot, the status would not reflect in the corresponding Jira issue. whilst, the manual merge would update the status in Jira.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use one of the auto-approve action from github marketplace.
2. create a workflow and add the auto-approve.yml file in the workflow. 
3. Similarly use one of the auto-merge action from github marketplace. 
4. add the automerge.yml file in the workflow -> in this case, it would need a label as "auto-merge" to trigger the bot
5. Create PR -> the bot will automatically trigger the workflow actions that has been specified. 
6. Once done, you will notice that the status has been changed to "Merged" however, Jira would still show as "Open".
7. With the manual update, you will not notice this problem.
