Traceability of Strategy Changes
At my current project I have a requirement where we want to link Jira Stories/test cases to strategies, so if a developer looks at that strategy, he will understand the impacted changes.
Previously I have added annotation on the strategy canvas and in the history tab under the documentation I was manually added the information about the Jira ticket associated with the change that was made at the strategy level.
Has anyone use Custom Fields section in the history tab of a rule eg strategy, when rule? How does it work?
So for example, if I want to tag all rules changes for a particular jira item or bug fix then adding JiraId="US-1234" to the rules modified or created for this feature can I use the custom fields? is it any way then to search for that JiraId in the Dev Studio to see all the association with it?
if anyone can explain how that feature works will be greatly appreciated.

@SilviuStefan Yes, you can use the Custom Fields section in the history tab of a rule (like strategies, when rules, etc.) to store metadata such as a Jira ID (e.g., JiraId = US-1234). This feature allows you to tag rules with custom identifiers or notes. Once you've added a custom field with the Jira ID in a rule, it becomes part of the rule’s metadata and is saved in the database. You can then use the Rule Search feature in Dev Studio to find all rules associated with a specific Jira ID by searching the custom field values (note: this works if full-text search is enabled and indexing includes custom fields). While this isn't as tightly integrated as a formal change management tool, it provides a useful way to manually track changes across multiple rules for auditing and traceability. Just make sure your team adopts this consistently for it to be effective.

@Sairohith thanks for the quick reply.
in the search of rule in dev studio how will you search for all the rules under a specific JiraID. will you just type JiraId=US-1234?
I look at the OTTB and I see the propositions filters has a customer field for example FilterType=APLICABILITY but when I search for it in search box I dont get the desired prop filters who have this custom field. I only get the prop filter if I search only for filterType.
