What is the primary purpose of the "Summary" field when creating an issue?

To assign the issue to a specific user
To provide a brief description of the issue
To set the priority of the issue
To specify the due date for the issue

The "Summary" field in JIRA serves as a brief yet descriptive title for the issue being created. It should encapsulate the essence of the problem or task succinctly. This summary helps stakeholders quickly understand the nature of the issue without delving into the details. While assigning, prioritizing, and specifying due dates are important aspects of issue management, they are typically handled by separate fields in JIRA.
