We are currently trying out Katalon and having some questions regarding the functions of Jira integration and automatic test code generation.  
I’ve asked to the chatbot but haven’t received a reply yet, so I will post it in the Community.  
It’s a bit long, but it would be appreciated if someone can answer them.

Q1. How to use the test cases generated by the Katalon extension for Jira  
We will perform the following operations.

1. Describe the test overview in the Jira task.
2. Generate the test case by pressing the Katalon Manual Tests (BETA) button.
3. Press the Save to Katalon button to link the test case to KatalonOps.

How can we continue the operation after this?  
Is it possible to link the test case from KatalonOps to KatalonStudio?

Q2. How to use Gherkin integrated with Jira  
We will perform the following operations.

1. Describe Gherkin in Jira’s CustomField.
2. Use the Jira plugin in Katalon Studio to import CustomField information, and .feature and TestCase will be generated automatically.
3. Execute the test case.

With this procedure, we always fail at “3. Execute the test case”.  
Do we need to prepare .groovy files in advance in Katalon Studio?  
If there is anything else we need to prepare, please let us know.

Q3. How to use the test code generated by StudioAssist  
We will perform the following operations.

1. Describe the text in the TestCase (script) of Katalon Studio.
2. Generate the test code using the StudioAssist function.
3. Execute the test code.

We also fail at “3. Execute the test case”.  
We think the cause is that the element is not selected properly, even if we describe “Click XXX” in the text.  
Should we manually modify the generated test code?

It would be greatly appreciated if you could answer the above questions. Thank you for your time.
