How did the example above work under the hood?
Each Jira Issue is an Javascript JSON object and the handlebars extract information from that object. Viewing the object is available in Jira and the feature will also come to Word in upcoming versions.
Around the handlebar expression there is an each that loops over all Issues. For usability the loop is added automatically by the add-on populating if missing however below code snippet is the full expression.
