Product News - Renaming Tempo's Team Field in Jira Issue View

Tempo is making it easier to identify which Tempo Team is linked to a specific Jira issue. In the Jira issue view, users will now see 'Tempo Team' as the field title as opposed to just the word 'Team' as shown in the image below. The purpose of this change is to call out this Tempo custom field and avoid confusion should users be utilizing other 'team' fields within Jira (ex: Atlassian Teams) This change is set to take place on May 31, 2023.

Note: The Team custom field will also be renamed to Tempo Team, and anywhere Team is referenced. For example, in file exports and the custom field page.
