Keep Jira work current as incident impact changes
When Better Stack reports new impact details for known work, refresh the Jira issue so the team can see the latest context.

Action
Edit Issue
Updates an existing jira issue with field values and operations. supports direct field parameters (summary, description, assignee, priority, etc.) that are merged with the fields parameter. direct parameters take precedence.
Why this helps

- Avoid retyping new impact details into project tracking.
