Why does for-you page break tabbed browsing?

Nick Hatch

I've recently noticed that the /jira/your-work page has been removed and replaced with a reworked page, /jira/for-you. 

Does Atlassian know that this page breaks tabbed browsing when you try and cmd-click on links to individual issues in the list? 

I usually use this page and tabbed browsing A LOT in my workflow, and not being able to cmd-click to open links in a new tab is super annoying.

I also don't understand how its sorting items in the lists. ie, as far as I can tell, they don't let you customize or change the sort order for the individual categories? The "In Progress" section seems much less useful than its equivalent in your-work.

I'd expect it to put most-recently-modified first, but it's using some arbitrary sort order I don't understand. It's not alphabetical by project or title, it's not by creation date ... no clue why its displaying things in the order it is

Is it possible to go back to your-work?  Am I missing something here?

Hello @Nick Hatch 

You're not missing a setting here, there's currently no way to customize the sorting or switch back to the old layout. Atlassian built it as a fixed feed.

The Cmd-click issue is definitely a UI bug, as breaking tabbed browsing completely kills the workflow. As a workaround, use a saved filter or the standard issue search page for now, since those still handle tabs properly. It's also worth opening a ticket with Atlassian Support so they can log this regression.
