What is Issue Creator for Jira Cloud and How to Use It
Issue Creator for Jira Cloud is a multifunctional app that allows you to create issues in Jira 10x faster.

- Your ongoing tasks are securely saved in draft mode.
- Link visual web elements to Jira issues and stay in perfect sync with your team's workflow
Issue Creator offers full support for all Jira projects and can adapt to the configuration of nearly all custom fields.
Where and how can you use Issue Creator?
- Of course, it is the creation of high-quality and informative bug reports. QA and developers are always playing ping-pong with each other. A QA engineer reports a bug to a developer, and the developer reports it back to QA, and it can go on and on. So, Jira issues with bug reports should be described and illustrated as much as possible. Therefore, with annotation, screenshots, and video recording functionality, Issue Creator is instrumental in this case.
- Creating ideas in Jira Product Discovery. The discovery phase of a project is always responsible and unpredictable. In the research process, ideas must be formed in detail and with visual content to understand the essence and message of your thought and research as a whole.
- Supporting the processes of the Support department. Recording of video tutorials, visual explanation of specific steps to users, etc.
- Issue Creator is a reliable assistant for any Project Manager. A PM is a superhero who must be in several places simultaneously. Managing projects and products is much easier with an assistant in the form of this Google Chrome extension.
And there are many, many more uses. It all depends on your imagination and your needs.
