This workflow calls the reusable backport-with-jira workflow from
scylladb/github-automation to enable automatic backport PR creation with
Jira sub-issue integration.
The workflow triggers on:
- Push to master/next-*/branch-* branches (for promotion events)
- PR labeled with backport/X.X pattern (for manual backport requests)
- PR closed/merged on version branches (for chain backport processing)
Features enabled by calling the shared workflow:
- Creates Jira sub-issues under the main issue for each backport version
- Sorts versions descending (highest first: 2025.4 -> 2025.3 -> 2025.2)
- Cherry-picks from previous version branch to avoid repeated conflicts
- On Jira API failure: adds comment to main issue, applies 'jira-sub-issue-creation-failed' label, continues with PR
