We improved the external approver view in the Approval Path to ensure all content elements are displayed correctly for external approvers, covering both Jira issues.

Key improvements include introducing a new page HTML renderer, and enhancing issue rendering with custom layouts, styling, and media support. Additional testing was conducted to address XSS vulnerabilities and verify content rendering across various Jira issues.

Supported elements include:

Breadcrumbs, summary, description, status, priority, assignee, reporter, labels, created and updated dates, attachments, subtasks, linked issues, remote links, and last comments.

Bug Fixes

Fixed second approval process stalling issue FIXED

Previously, when initiating the second approval, the process would stall with the loading icon and fail to proceed. This issue has now been fixed.

Fixed external user approval link redirection Issue FIXED

There was a bug in email notification when clicking “Reminder: Action requested for Approval” link redirected users to the issue in Jira instead of the approval path window. After the fix, the link now redirects correctly to the approval path window, allowing the approver to take action directly.
