Add more detail to Jira issue history reports
The default template set includes specialized versions of the issue-navigator.xlsx template to export the comments, worklogs, Tempo worklogs, change history (commonly known as issue metadata) along with the field values. These specialized templates support both the selected fields and all fields scenarios, and append the metadata in the right.
The metadata values are exported to separate "atomic" columns (comment author, date and text separately) and to multiple rows (when an issue has multiple comments) for a structured data layout.
