Deprecation of fields values Epic Link and Parent in issue history changelogs

Hi @Hayden

I have a couple of questions.

  1. Will we be able to use the new IssueParentAssociation field to query Epic children using IssueParentAssociation = key instead of 'Epic Link' = key OR parent = key? This would be a great addition as many users have created an extra field named ‘Epic Link’ in their instances which causes queries using this field to fail.

  2. Any update on when the jira:issue_updated event will return the IssueParentAssociation field? December 10th is fast approaching and I’m still only seeing the item with the ‘Epic Link’ field when this event is called.

Thanks again.
