Couldn't find this code to modify, but I would change 'Click the New Issue button...' to 'select New Issue' as it's more common terminlogy for touch device users. Also we could add 'or raise a support ticket' screen shot 2018-06-20 at 11 16 45 to this, to direct people to support as we have on the web page and KB.

To be pedantic on the correct terminology, you click with a mouse meaning press down and release and tap on a touch based device meaning touch and release. Select means something entirely different as it is the action of changing the state of either a checkbox, radio button or for toggling items in and out of a selection, the items could be characters in a string.

There is some debate about this on various forums as webpages will be seen by both desktop and touch based devices. There are a few suggestions, use click/tap which becomes clunky after a while, just stick with click as mobile users know that means tap anyway; or someone has suggested a more generic hit. My feeling is to go with click but definitely stay away from select.

In that case we should either go with 'tap' as iOS is touch driven, or just have a contextual link directly through to new issue in the same way the support link would work.

I have made these two changes.
