Note: You'll need the your email and and API token to add your JIRA account (more info on the popup).

2. Add the Project Key. Should match the key value from Jira/Atlassian project page.

The following fields are optional:

1. Assignee Account ID. e.g. https://mycompany.atlassian.net/

Finally, click on Test Credentials button to validate the connection has established and click Save.

If everything is setup correctly, you'll see Valid Jira Credentials message at the bottom of the screen.
