Dependabot Jira

This workflow creates a Jira issue when a Dependabot pull request is created with a specific label. It will set the summary of the Jira issue to the title of the Dependabot pull request and the description of the issue to the body of the pull request. It accomplishes this by leveraging two Atlassian Github Actions.
