Jira Menu Bar App

Shows a list of Jira tickets assigned to a user and grouped by a status. It's also possible to transition selected ticket to a different status.

By default it shows a list of tickets returned by a following JQL:

assignee=currentuser() AND resolution=Unresolved

In order to show a different list (for example issues from the backlog or issues with a label) go to Jira's advanced search, construct a query and use it in the app's config.

})
spoon['jira-issues']:start()

Here is atlassian documentation on how to get an API token: Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account. In case you are using an old version of Jira, simply put your password instead of an API token.
