Page Comparison

Assets & Inventory Plugin for Jira Cloud allows you to link different assets together to establish a relationship between them, such as “reports to”, “owned by”, “has”, and “installed to”. This can be useful in scenarios where assets are dependent on each other or when you want to track the relationship between two assets.
