JIRA makes me sad. Our project always silently expires sessions at the worst possible time.
- i opened a new browser tab to JIRA
- it loaded the board
- i started drafting a work item in our TODO column
- hit enter..
- session expired. wut - how?
I would expect that if my session has expired, it should prompt me to re-authenticate as soon as a view the page, rather than when I perform an action.
Other examples:
- Is it your turn to share the board during standup? The board will display fine, but when you try to click on a work item, your session is expired.
The handling around expired session generally feels wonky, sometimes the page will error ungracefully, other times you'll be prompted to re-authenticate.
Is it possible that our admin has misconfigured some settings for this project that are contradictory and cause the sessions to behave unexpectedly? Or is this a bug in JIRA Cloud's session management that others experience as well.
