RD-1179372 — Update Jira docs to highlight data model benefits.

Detail what changes this PR introduces and how this addresses the issue/feature request linked above.

Adds an "Automatic field label resolution" section to the README (within the jira_transformation_model section that renders on the docs site). This section explains that:

  • Raw Jira synced data stores field values as IDs, requiring manual joins to dimension tables
  • The data models automatically resolve both standard and custom field IDs to human-readable label values
  • This applies to standard fields (status, priority, resolution, etc.), custom fields (select lists, multi-selects, etc.), and historical field values

The goal is to highlight this as a key adoption driver for the Jira data models, since it removes the most tedious part of working with raw Jira data.

How did you validate the changes introduced within this PR?

Content-only change (README documentation). Verified the addition is within the <!--section="jira_transformation_model"--> markers so it will render on the docs site.

Which warehouse did you use to develop these changes?

N/A — documentation only.

Did you update the CHANGELOG?

  • Yes

Did you update the dbt_project.yml files with the version upgrade (please leverage standard semantic versioning)? (In both your main project and integration_tests)

  • Yes

Typically there are additional maintenance changes required before this will be ready for an upcoming release. Are you comfortable with the Fivetran team making a few commits directly to your branch?

  • Yes
  • No
