When will the New Jira Issue View be the only Issue View Available?

Joel Lepp

Does anyone have any idea when the New Jira Issue View will be the only Issue View available - meaning the old original issue view won't be accessible anymore?

Trying to be proactive. People hate change and therefore no one wants to use the New Jira Issue View, but don't want people to be caught off guard if someday it just flips and they have no access to the old issue view anymore.

Transitioning all users to the new issue view in Jira Cloud

Hi,
Today we're announcing that from March 31, 2021, we'll be moving users on the old issue view to the new issue view in Jira Cloud products (Jira Software, Jira Service Desk, Jira Core). We're removing the old issue view shortly after. We want to let you know about the recent and upcoming changes, and the key dates so you can get ready for the change.

The new issue view has progressed a long way in the past year. We've improved its performance and added your most requested features like web links, permalinks, and comment permissions. And before removal, we'll improve the layout, bring back field tabs, and give you more control over where fields live.

What's next?

We'll be launching new Jira admin controls to suppress our messages to your users about the change, and to give you the option of moving your users to the new issue view all at once before March 31. We'll send another email when this is available.

Learn more about key dates, the latest and upcoming improvements, and more details, from our official announcement.
