Jira Cloud filter results now open issues in a side panel - can this be disabled

[Jan Pilař]

Hi Atlassian Community,

in Jira Cloud, when I open an issue from the filter/search results page, it now opens in a right-side panel instead of opening the issue as a full page.

I do not see any setting for this in the three-dot menu or in the filter view settings. The tooltip on the icon says “Open work item”. I have attached a screenshot showing the icon/behavior.

Is there any way to restore the previous behavior, so that clicking an issue opens it directly as a full issue page instead of a side panel?

I know I can use Ctrl/Cmd-click or open the issue in a new browser tab as a workaround, but I would like to know whether there is a Jira setting, user preference, or admin configuration that controls this behavior.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello @Jan Pilař 

This preview panel is part of a permanent Jira Cloud UI update, so there isn't an admin setting to disable it. To bypass it and open issues full-screen, just Ctrl/Cmd-click (or middle-click) the link to open it in a new tab, or click the expand icon inside the panel. If this change heavily disrupts your team's daily workflow, I definitely recommend submitting feedback directly to Atlassian Support.

Hi,

thank you very much for your quick response and for the reference.
I understand that this is part of the new Jira Cloud UI. I will submit a feature request to Atlassian to allow configuration of this behavior, as it impacts our workflow.

Thanks again for your help
