Can I still receive email notifications for my own activity?

Matthew Nagel

I am a Jira Software Cloud user and until recently there was a setting to see my own activity. We use this option to include the changes in our primary ticketing system (Jira) into the legacy system. 

The personal notification options screen was recently refactored but I cannot find this setting anymore. Am I missing something? Or if it was a change, was it an oversight or has the feature been removed?

There is a new Community article about this so it is an intended change:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-articles/Take-control-of-your-inbox-with-new-ways-to-manage-Jira/ba-p/2637342#:~:text=Previously%20you%20were%20able%20to%20configure%20your%20settings%20to%20be%20notified%20about%20your%20own%20changes.%20As%20part%20of%20our%20simplification%2C%20we%E2%80%99ve%20removed%20this%20functionality. 

 

And a "feature request" to restore the functionality

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-83260 

 

It's a bit frustrating getting the rug pulled out i.e. removing features without notice (and without a workaround/alternative for paying customers using the feature for 10+ years), then treating concerns as if they are a new enhancement request.
