The Jira Delete Issue action is used to delete an issue (task, bug, story, etc.) previously created in Jira projects. This action can only be performed by users with delete permissions on the relevant project. It is particularly preferred for removing unnecessary, incorrectly opened, or test-purpose issues.

issue_key (String – required): The key of the issue to be deleted in Jira. (e.g., DEV-123)
Data Source Compatibility: Parameters can be entered as fixed values or obtained from dynamic sources such as Form Input, Current, Action Result, Method Input via the Symbol Picker.

Add a “Delete” button.
Define the OnClick → Jira Delete Issue action.
Link the issue_key parameter to the selected issue.
After the deletion, show the user the message “Issue successfully deleted.”

Technical Risks and Controls
issue_key must not be empty. Otherwise, the deletion process cannot be performed.
settings must be configured correctly. If the Jira API setting is not configured in Configuration Manager, the action will not work.
