Deployment data removed when removing apps to integrate with CI/CD tools

Issue Summary

When uninstalling an app to integrate with Deployment tools, like for example  Octopus Deploy, all the Deployment data stored in Jira is removed.

Reinstalling the app doesn't work since the app is only sending data to Jira using the Submit deployment data (POST /deployments/0.1/bulk) when a new deployment occurs, but there is no logic to send data related to previous deployments to Jira.

Now, if this is expected behavior it should be EXPLICITLY mentioned in the endpoint or development documentation:

• Open DevOps experiences with Jira

• Getting started with Open DevOps

• Submit deployment data

Without having this behavior documented, app developers cannot possibly know they have to implement a back-filling mechanism for their apps.

This is reproducible not on Data Center.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Establish connection between Octopus Deploy and Jira
2. Enable deployments for a Jira project
3. Install and enable Jira plugin for Octopus Deploy
4. Create issue for project (i.e. TEST-1)
5. Commit code changes to source repo that resolves issue (i.e. TEST-1)
6. Create release and deployment
7. View deployment data in Jira
8. Uninstall and reinstall Jira plugin for Octopus Deploy

Expected Results

The deployment data for the issue (TEST-1) is still there

Actual Results

The deployment information is lost forever

Workaround

There's no workaround available at the moment
