Hi. My work items, like Requests, Epics, and tasks, are opening in the sidebar instead of the current page. This is the worst update ever. How can I disable this and make items open on the current page as usual?

Hi @Roman Merkulov 

Use the arrows option in the preview issue.

This will open the item in full vie, this will keep doing this until you use the arrows option again in an issue, then items will be opening in the sidebar.

This is a user personal setting, you can't push this global as an admin

Hi @Roman Merkulov 

Can you try it incognito, as I can see this in any project and on multiple Jira instances.

I tried incognito and other browsers too (Chrome, Edge, Commet). Also, all team members of my organization have the same issue. We can work as normal with this UI :(

Hi @Roman Merkulov 

This could be an issue on your instance, as I can't replicate this.

I suggest to contact Atlassian Support

(You will need to have a Jira admin or higher role to raise a support issue)

Hi Marc, thank you for your fast support. I don't know who has disabled it, but now Jira items work as usual for all team. We can close this conversation for now.
