Jira Data Center Personal Access Token Auth Type

The idea is:

Currently there are 2 Jira credential types, Server which is basic auth and clous which supports personal access tokens. I have a data center deployment and Jira has built in support for Personal Access tokens - I would like to be able to auth to Jira using that token in the credential in n8n.

My use case:

More securely connect to my Jira instance with the built in nodes from n8n

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

Better security practices

Any resources to support this?

N/A

Are you willing to work on this?

I don’t have the experience to do so

This feature would be really nice, since basic auth will be disabled soon (security etc.). I would like to think this will be happening also with other companies which are using Jira Datacenter Edition.

Update:
I’ve created a pull request, which adds the PAT credential type to the Jira node: feat(Jira Node): Added Personal Access Token credential type by GKdeVries · Pull Request #11038 · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub.
