Attach and detach Perforce jobs to changelists
The Perforce integration with CLion provides you with a user interface for attaching and detaching Perforce jobs to changelists.
Note that the integration does not support creation of Perforce jobs.
To get access to working with Perforce jobs, select the Enable Perforce Jobs Support checkbox on the Perforce page of the Settings dialog.
