Keep work briefs aligned with Jira issue updates
Refresh a shareable work brief as ticket details change, so the current context is easier to pass along.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.

An assignee change is one example of an issue update that can fire the event, when it occurs in the configured project.
Does it retain an earlier version of the brief?
The listed action generates documents. Version retention is not specified by the available action details.
