Hello admins, We just published the first edition of the Admin Digest, a bi-monthly roundup of what's new and upcoming to Atlassian Administration. This month's highlights: 🛡️ Backup and Resto...

I have been thinking about cleanup notes for old Jira sandboxes and test sites. The deletion itself is usually not the hard part. The hard part is knowing later why the site existed, what wa...
-
I have seen old Jira projects cause confusion long after the team has stopped using them. Before archiving or cleaning one up, I like to make a small record of what might still matter. My us...
-
Hi Jira admins! 👋 I'm Carol, a Product Manager on the Jira Configuration team. I'm working on something I think you'll have strong opinions about: should your team members be able to see space set...
-
One thing I've noticed in growing Jira environments is that complexity doesn't usually arrive all at once. It builds gradually. A new workflow is added for one project. A custom issue type is creat...
-
If you could remove one Jira feature tomorrow, what would it be? Maybe, not because it's bad, but because it causes more confusion than value for your teams. For me, it's interesting how some fea...
-
The Custom Field Zoo: when nobody remembers why a field exists Jira's flexibility is the reason most of us adopted it. A new requirement appears, a new custom field is created, work continues. At te...
-
Quiz Time! Quick test: without looking, how many custom fields does your instance have? Many admins guess somewhere between 50 and 100. Then they open the admin screen and find 400. I've seen insta...
-
Hey all, Curious how other Jira admins think about tool sprawl, specifically when parts of the ALM process (requirements, testing, compliance) end up living in separate tools instead of inside Jira...
-
Hello fellow admins, I have an open question for the community... How are other admins are keeping an eye on, or better yet managing, configuration drift, especially for those in regulated indu...
-
One small admin problem I keep running into in sandbox notes is that Jira fields often outlive the original reason they were created. The field name may still make sense, but six months late...
-
A lot of Jira troubleshooting starts with incomplete context. Someone may describe a board, field, automation, or permission problem, but the answer depends on whether the project is company-managed ...
-
When a Jira workflow change looks small, I try to write down the checks before touching the configuration. It keeps the change from turning into a surprise for the people using the board. My...
-
When I touch a Jira board filter, I try to slow down for a few minutes first because a small JQL change can make work disappear from a team's daily view. My usual checks are: 1. Sav...

Claude Agent for Jira was released on June 19, 2026 and the developer community is excited. And rightfully so — the idea of assigning a Jira ticket to an AI agent that reads the description, clones y...

As organizations evolve, so do their Atlassian environments. New teams are onboarded, workflows are refined, Marketplace apps are introduced, and automations are added to support changing business n...
-
Hi Community, Update: I edited this post to reflect the latest version of the project. It now includes Windows and macOS executables, a schema-aware configuration flow, support for Community Bu...
-
I have been keeping notes from a small Jira and Confluence sandbox, and I am curious what habits other admins find most useful. For me, the biggest time savers are: - naming automat...
-
If you asked Rovo “how many users in group jira-software-users” and got back 50, you hit the built-in limit. Rovo caps user search results at 50. It also samples Jira issues around 100 to 200. That ...
-
As the main Admin for my organisation, I run into the same problem on an annoyingly regular basis: a user is invited to join our organisation, and at some point in the account activation process they...
-
Huh, Atlassian Jira functionality has moved again. Now Claude and Cursor are my teammates! Do they get the job over Rovo...? Let's see... ;-) TL;DR New features for handling tracks, direct inte...
-
Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on efficiently managing user permissions in Jira Cloud, especially for organizations with multiple teams and projects. I'm interested in learnin...
-
Update from the Jira team [30th June 2026] Thank you all for the detailed feedback on this thread. We've heard you clearly. We are making changes to the rollout plan: The Atlassian P...
