Excel Addin 4.5

Logging

O4JVSTO-939

Logging of communication between Excel Plugin and Jira is enabled by default. Logfile size is limited.

Requirement path

O4JVSTO-1202

O4JVSTO-1276

For the field “Requirement Path (split-up)“ the first requirement path level column is added by default, also when there no issues in any R4J tree structure.

Both issue key and project name are supported while updating requirement path from Excel to Jira.

Performance

O4JVSTO-938

The query to retrieve all issues of a JQL, filter or a project is now limited to retrieve less data in order to reduce stress on Jira server. This also avoids time outs.

Requirement path

O4JVSTO-1255

O4JVSTO-1256

Issue inside the R4J tree (root folder only) was not added if the project name in Jira has space at the end. Fix for the project name now applied.

Adding issues as chain children (add to parent issue) in Excel is not generating an error messages in the summary window anymore when the issues are added to the tree.

O4JVSTO-1274

Problems with requirement folder path which contains a value formatted like an "issue key" fixed.
