📣 Bug fixes & improvements (Sept-Nov)

Hermance NDounga

Hello everyone!

It is soon holiday season and the team will take a well-deserved break, to come back in the new year with highly requested new features, so, stay tuned 🥳

In parallel, we continue to improve every bit of experience in Jira Product Discovery, thanks to your suggestions and the bugs you've raised.

We are a bit overdue, so we will cover three months in this article hence the list is a bit longer 😅 As usual, don't hesitate to ask for more information in the comments! Here are some of the improvements we've made in Jira Product Discovery: 

Delivery panel improvements

• Added the ability to calculate delivery progress by story points
• Creating delivery tickets with mandatory fields is now also possible from the multi-selector checkbox 
• Show an explanation message in the delivery tab if the user doesn't have JSW access 

Chrome extension

• Support for sites with custom domains 
• Search ideas only by summary and not all text 
• Fixed bug on Chrome extension not clearing the idea after creating the insight 

UI improvement

• Reworked the toolbar look & feel when selecting multiple ideas 
• Improved empty views look & feel (when creating new views) 
• Changed contrast and elevation of selected cards in board views
• Added matrix bubble instant responsiveness when changing axis order 

Contributor role improvements

• Added the ability to choose a custom group to be the contributor group
• “Assignee” field now only renders creators in the project, and not contributors (it was crowding the field + throwing errors) 
• Fixed permissions around contributor access settings (site admins only) 
• Removed configure delivery button for contributors (throwing errors) 

Performance improvements

• Improved performance in the delivery tab when many delivery tickets need to be displayed
• Virtualization of board view - improved performance for all users 
• Fixed bugs around 429 errors showing up when opening ideas in multiple tabs

 Usability improvements

• You can now call your vote field "vote" (this name specifically was not usable) 
• Removed the possibility of editing archived ideas, to be consistent with other Jiras
• Created ideas are now pre-filled based on the filter applied to a view, whenever possible. 

View UX improvements

• Added the ability to drag and drop issues inside empty groups 
• Improved navigation blocking behavior when autosave is disabled 
• When all views are in sections, land to the first view of the first group, instead of a ghost view 👻
• Sticky columns in board view (consistent with the experience when there is a group in the view) 

UI bug fixes

• Fixed bug in timeline view that was causing overlapping & missing cards 
• Fixed bugs of regarding view comments displayed outside the screen
• Fixed bug on linked issue dropdown overlapping with the rest of the UI 
• Fixed bug in field configuration overlapping on the left panel 
• improved long view names display on small screens 

Other bugs

• Fixed bug when moving an idea to a new project, the redirection works (instead of a blank screen) 
• cleaned JPD-specific permission names appearing in JSW 
• Fixed a bug where wrong data was appearing while the idea was loading
• Improved status field export in CSV 
• Fixed a bug when exporting a board with status as a column in JPEG (no status was displayed)

Is there something that needs to be done for this to work: "Created ideas are now pre-filled based on the filter applied to a view, whenever possible."

This would be really helpful for our process, but it doesn't seem to happen for us.
