## Changes - Pre-populate Jira URL with https://issues.redhat.com (Red Hat's public Jira instance) - Pre-populate username with user's email from their profile - Change "Email" label to "Username" (more accurate for kerberos IDs like rh-dept-kerberos) - All fields remain fully editable (not hardcoded) to support future multi-instance configuration ## Benefits - Faster setup: Users only need to paste their API token - Less typing: URL and username filled automatically - Better UX: Clear labels and helpful placeholders - Forward compatible: Keeps fields editable for future multiple Jira instance support ## Technical Details - Added DEFAULT_JIRA_URL constant for Red Hat Jira - Uses useCurrentUser() hook to fetch user's email - Pre-population via useEffect when form opens - Backend unchanged (still accepts url, email, apiToken) ## Demo See docs/jira-integration-demo.html for visual before/after comparison Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude Code ReviewSummaryThis PR improves the Jira integration UX by pre-populating the form with sensible defaults (Jira URL and username from user profile) while keeping all fields editable. The implementation follows frontend development patterns and provides a better user experience by reducing manual data entry. Overall Assessment: ✅ Approved with minor recommendations Issues by Severity🚫 Blocker IssuesNone - code is ready to merge. 🔴 Critical IssuesNone 🟡 Major IssuesNone 🔵 Minor Issues1. useEffect dependency array could cause unnecessary re-rendersLocation: Issue: The useEffect includes Current: useEffect(() => {
if (showForm && !url && !username) {
setUrl(DEFAULT_JIRA_URL)
if (currentUser?.email) {
setUsername(currentUser.email)
}
}
}, [showForm, url, username, currentUser?.email])Recommendation: Consider using a ref to track if pre-population has occurred: const hasPrePopulated = useRef(false)
useEffect(() => {
if (showForm && !hasPrePopulated.current) {
setUrl(DEFAULT_JIRA_URL)
if (currentUser?.email) {
setUsername(currentUser.email)
}
hasPrePopulated.current = true
}
if (!showForm) {
hasPrePopulated.current = false
}
}, [showForm, currentUser?.email])Impact: Low - current implementation works correctly, just not optimally efficient. 2. Error handling pattern could be more specificLocation: Issue: The error toast uses a generic fallback message without checking error type. Current: onError: (error) => {
errorToast(error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Failed to connect Jira')
}Pattern from Recommendation: onError: (error) => {
console.error('Jira connection failed:', error)
errorToast(error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Failed to connect to Jira')
}Impact: Low - better debugging capability. 3. Demo files add significant test/doc overheadFiles: Issue: The HTML demo file and Cypress test add 376 lines of code for a relatively simple UX change. While the demo is well-crafted, consider whether it provides enough value to justify maintenance overhead. Questions:
Recommendation: If this is a one-time demo for the PR, consider removing the files after merge. If it's meant to be maintained, add a comment in the files explaining the maintenance expectations. Impact: Low - doesn't affect functionality, just maintenance burden.
