89 **Automatic project linking across Atlassian tools:**
90 Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket projects with the same Project Key are now automatically linked via the DevOps Portal. This simplifies workflows, such as selecting a Git repository in Bitbucket when creating a branch for a Jira issue. Previously, this required Sysadmin privileges, but the Portal now handles it automatically. To activate for an existing project, simply **Edit and Save** or **Resync** the project.
