Web Clipper for Jira

[Mark Scarton]

I'm looking for a gadget or plugin that would allow my team to

1. select a section of text or region on a page,
2. prompt with a list of Jira tickets for which they are the assignee or participant,
3. allow them to select a ticket, then
4. append the text to that ticket as a comment.

Ideally it should keep the formatting of the original content.

I've done similar things with MacOS by creating a custom service. For example, feed a selection of text into Google translate for a specific language. I also use Evernote's web clipper to clip portions of web pages, windows, etc. into an Evernote note.

I think that this would improve my team's velocity and my organization's IP retention tremendously.

One big source of information is emails. Another is web pages.

I'd prefer to stay away from browser plugins; I don't want to engage in the browser wars. Everyone has their favorite. And I'd be fine with a tool that is MacOS specific.

In the permission schemes, you can give the "Edit" permission to the reporter alone. Just one thing to not though, reporter may not always be the person who creates it. You can create an issue based on another person, if you have the "Manage Reporter" permission.

I guess you don't want to have only reporter able to edit an issue (the ones who solves the issues should also be able to edit). So one solution would be to give edit issue permission to Reporter and Assignee. All other Users will have browse projects to see all issues (and create issue permission in order to become reporter).

You would need to add assignable user permission and assign user permission to some people as well.
