Use case

A handy option in Jira is to use issue keys in comments to reference them whenever needed. But as the amount of comments grow, it can get hard to keep track of all mentioned issues in the comments. Therefore, the following rule checks for issue keys being added to comments and automatically links them to the current issue.
