Step 4: Complete Scenario Name (mandatory).  The scenario steps can be added now or at a later stage.  The Mode is set to Manual or Automated.  This setting is used by the plugin to determine if the scenario will be downloaded for Integration with Test Automation Frameworks.  AssertThat - BDD & Cucumber for Jira supports Scenario Examples syntax.
