We’re excited to announce an upcoming improvement to the work item flagging experience in Jira software spaces, rolling out in January 2026!
What’s changing?
When adding or removing a flag for a work item from board, backlog, or using the command palette in the work item, you can add a comment to provide context. This option wasn’t available when adding or removing a flag from the More actions (…) menu in the work item.
This feature closes that gap. Now, no matter where you flag a work item from, you’ll have the option to add a comment.
Our goal is to make managing projects in Jira a seamless and enjoyable experience. Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know your feedback.
