New and Noteworthy in TD/OMS V17 Milestone 3
VSCode & Octo WEB
| External Issue Management System Interfaces (Tracker) now available | OCTO has a new Tracker plugin that interfaces with external ticketing management systems to track issues without having to leave OCTO itself. Now issues can be searched through filtering, view their details and even link them to TD/OMS tasks. At the moment Gravity and JIRA interfaces are supported and more will be added in the future.

Transfer History Tab: Displays detailed information about all transfer activities related to the selected component. Dependencies Tab: Shows an overview of components that either depend on or are used by the current component. This helps users understand and manage inter-component relationships effectively. Object History Tab: Lists all tasks or objects with which the component has been previously associated, providing a comprehensive history for tracking and reference.
