Info

This is the baseline class for all Jira issue events such as Post functions and Listeners

This Issueclass encapsulates functionality for interacting with one Jira issue.

It includes properties and methods for various actions such as checking if an issue is a subtask, if it has a parent, attachments, comments, links, subtasks, etc.

It also provides methods for editing issues, deleting them, linking them to other issues, transitioning their status, and fetching comments. Additionally, it allows adding comments, setting properties, and provides a string representation of the issue. The class utilizes threading for certain operations to run asynchronously.
