Improve documentation on Configuring terminology to make the limitations clearer

Details

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

    Description

      The Configuring terminology documentation is currently focusing on what changes are expected with the new Terminology but not what's expected to remain the same, like:

      • JQL searches (advanced search)
      • REST API queries (use JQL, same as above)
      • Custom field names (they remain Epic Name, Epic Link, Epic Color, etc)

      We could make it clearer the Terminology feature in Jira works similar to a frontend/UI translation layer.
      It changes only the Epic issue type name to the new terminology, leaving all Epic-related field names the way they are.
      Even for the Epic issue type, only the output is translated. The input still requires the Epic keyword like in:

      resolution = Unresolved and issuetype = Epic
      
      Basic search (works with Feature) Advanced search (needs Epic)
