The Timeline view in Jira projects used to show Epics, which you could expand to see all stories within those epics. Since today it seems that this has changed: * it's also showing all stories that aren't assigned to any epic * but more importantly: It's also showing my initiatives and themes that we are using in our Jira plans.* What this means is that I can't sort epics anymore independently from the initiatives they have been assigned to * When hiding the initiatives and themes via quick filter, only stories are shown (without the epic hierarchy) and with this new icon: Question: how can I get it back to how it was before?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Timeline view in Jira spaces has changed over the weekend?

Hello @Christian Happel

It´s related to the announced changes.

Upcoming: Unified, More Powerful Timeline for Jira... - Atlassian Community

You can give Feedback on it, but this UI behavior cannot be really reverted if it was rolled out on your Site.

Best,

The new UI behavior is causing a lot of friction. Could we please revert it? It is significantly reducing our team's agility.

We are experiencing challenges in our planning due to these limitations as well. It would be greatly appreciated if we'd be able to roll back this UI change.

I too agree that this change created lots of confusion. The timeline view now shows also tasks along with epics.

Some tasks that were created later and assigned to an epic do not appear in the expanded dialog window of an epic; they show up in the timeline as separate tasks but when clicking on the "Show hierarchy" button, the relationship is correct.

Additionally, it seems that the filter "Hide done work items" does not have any effect on the child items of an epic.

I think this was a major step back to the Timeline dashboard.

Our teams are also reporting issues with this change. They can no longer rearrange or re-sequence items to raise the most important ones to the top of the timeline view. This used to work prior to the changes.

The group by Epic was very important for us to show our roadmap using timeline. Now with these changes and the hierarchy also not visible our timeline view is completely messed up. Please revert back to old format or atleast give the option to Group By

Circling back after opting out of the new UX, per Amy Cheong's original post.

My PMs submitted opt-out requests, and they sent me their email chains today showing Atlassian Support confirming the opt-out had been applied on 7/2/26, and that it would take effect within 24 hours.

However, the opt-out hasn't been applied, and my PMs' emails to Atlassian Support have gone unanswered.

Unsure if there's a procedural or technical issue blocking reversion via the opt-out, but wanted folks to know.

Curious if anyone else has seen success on this front, too.

@Jason White Hi Jason, has your request been acted on? Let me know if it's not, I see if I can fast track it in my team. Can you provide your email so that I can search it in the system?

We need to manually sequence epics to communicate delivery priority independently of dates and hierarchy; the new Timeline provides no equivalent workflow
