The issue format within the contents of the HTTP POST our connect app gets when a post function is triggered is/was typically that of the v2 issue, i.e. the description is a string.
This is also still true for my (developer) Jira instance. But on the (sandbox) Jira instance of a customer the error message when accessing the description (class java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to class java.lang.String) suggest that he gets a v3 issue.
So the question is, is the format v2 on some instances and v3 on others and is it going to change to v3 on all instances?
