Board Calendar View Settings Not Saved

Question

Hi,

Like this post here two years ago:

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/discussion/2683043/calendar-view-settings

Is there no way to save the settings set here? Because whenever you leave the calendar view and come back, it will go back to the default view (i.e., 5-day view & Sunday being the first day of the week) which is quite not user friendly.

Hi @Shyuan , good news: that 2024 thread is out of date. Atlassian fixed calendar filter and view settings not saving in JRACLOUD-84580 (closed as fixed in December 2025), and the calendar doc says your "Week starts on" choice saves automatically.

So @Tomislav Tobijas , @Martin Runge and  @Arkadiusz Wroblewski are on the right track. Since it sticks for Tomislav, I'd look at your browser first: a private window, an extension, or a setting that clears cookies and site data on exit would all cause this. Try another browser to confirm.

If it still resets in a clean browser, I'd open a Support ticket and mention JRACLOUD-84580 so they treat it as a regression.

Hmm @Shyuan @Robert Hiles

I've just tried changing these options in my settings on two sites, and they remain when I switch back and forth to Calendar view. When I use a hard refresh, the config. stays as I've configured it. 👀

Can you try this 🤔:

* Browser Cache and Cookies: Jira uses local storage to remember UI states. Ensure your browser is not configured to clear cookies or local storage upon exiting.
* Incognito Mode: Settings will not persist if you are using Incognito or Private browsing, as these sessions do not save data locally.
* Cross-Device Limitations: Currently, these preferences are often bound to the specific browser instance. If you switch devices, you may need to reconfigure the view on the new browser.

Would be worth checking if other folks in your company are experiencing the same thing.

Cheers,

Tobi

Hi @Shyuan,

According to Atlassian’s documentation for the Jira calendar, the week start should not reset. To change it, you open View settings in the top right of the calendar and pick a day under Week settings > Week starts on. Atlassian says that choice is saved automatically. (Configure your calendar)

So if it reverts to Sunday every time you come back, that is not the documented behavior. I would check these things:

* Try a private window or another browser. If the setting sticks, an extension, privacy setting, or cached data in your usual browser is likely responsible.
* Ask a colleague to test the same board. This will help you determine whether the issue is with your account or browser, or with the board itself.
* Check your language setting. Jira uses the language in your personal settings to determine the default start of the week: English (US) starts on Sunday, while English (UK) starts on Monday. Changing the language gives you a Monday default, even if the view setting doesn’t stick.
* If it still resets, let us file a support ticket together: the docs say the setting should be saved, so a reproducible reset is a bug, not a missing feature. Include your browser, board link, and a short screen recording.

For the 5-day view, the docs don’t say whether that option is saved, so I can’t confirm the expected behavior there. If it is the only thing that keeps resetting, it’s worth mentioning in the same support ticket.

Hope this helps!

Cheers, Martin
