Add ability to add defect ticket references for failed tests when updating with zapi

[david-apples]

On a JIRA ticket test executions has a field for 'Defects'. I have automated tests which fail for known bugs so wish to update those executions as failed using zapi automatically and also add the defect ticket number.

One logical approach would be to reserve @testcaseid for the JIRA ID of the test case and use @issue to tag bugs related to that test case. This is how the two tags are intended, allure use a 'bug' icon against any IDs added with the @issue tag.

Currently you cannot add an @issue tag with an ID which does not match the @testcaseid. (see method getIssueOrTestCaseIdValue) Can this restriction be lifted ? I understand some projects may have treated Issue/TestCaseId as the same thing so there may be some backwards incompatability questions...

Sounds sensible. I will have a look into what, if anything, this might break, if nothing major then should be able to implement this in the next few weeks along with lots of other breaking changes ;)

This might be quite tricky because, as you said, we've used @Issue and @TestCaseId as the same thing. If we change the meaning of @Issue then this will break everyone using @Issue.

I think this might be best done at the same time we release v3.0.0, it will use Allure 2 so everyone will have to change to use @TmsLink instead of @TestCaseId and the @Issue tag is changing package, so a good time to also make this change.
