GitHub for Jira — restrict PR linking to PR title only

We're seeing the GitHub for Jira integration link a PR to a Jira ticket whenever that ticket's key appears anywhere in the PR — title, description, or comments. This is causing false "activity on a done ticket" alerts, since developers often reference other tickets for context in the description/comments without intending to link the PR to them.

What we actually want: only link a PR to a Jira ticket if the ticket key appears in the PR title.

1. Is there an admin level setting to restrict issue key detection to the PR title only (excluding description and comment text)?
