🥇We’re merging List and All work – one powerful view for all teams

Tanya Maddalena_0yxhir

List and All Work become one

We’re simplifying how you manage work in Jira.

You may have noticed that List and All work have started to feel similar lately. (Good catch! You were onto something.) That’s because we’re preparing to merge List and All work views, creating one powerful, unified view for managing work items: simply called List.

Our goal is simple: to give every team and every user one place to manage their work. With the flexibility, performance, and accessibility you expect from Jira.

What’s changing?

We’re bringing the best of List and All work:

✅ Grouping by more fields
✅ Hierarchy support
✅ Inline editing
✅ Simple reparenting
✅ Conditional formatting

What’s in it for you?

🧠 Less context switching: No more flipping between views to find the right info. Just manage all your work items from one place.
⚡ More capability: Get all the power of List and All work combined, such as more filtering and export options.
🌏 Accessible for all: Built to support all teams and all users, no matter your project type or ability.
📊 Performance-first: A faster, more consistent experience, especially for larger projects.

What changes have we made?

Infinte scroll & realtime

Inline create

Hierarchy

Hierarchy toggle

Reparenting via drag and drop

Inline editing of fields

Hide done items

Grouping

Bulk operations toolbar

Grid navigation

Conditional formatting

Improved user experience: merged cells and single row height

What’s next?

You can start trying out the new improvements today in All Work and in the meantime, we’re focused on delivering the final few improvements and planning for the official merge. More details on timing to come!

This is a step toward simplifying Jira and making it work better for you, your team, and your workflow. We’re excited about where this is heading, and as always, we’d love your feedback. Let’s make this one view the best one yet.

Thanks for being part of the journey,
The Jira Cloud team

Great news @Tanya Maddalena ! Are there any considerations in making the new joined "all work" tab more flexible in terms of giving it a standard filter, for instance?

Use case:

using a kanban board to show items from more than one project
when switching to "all work" or "list", not the same filter as for the board is applied, but it defaults back to only the project's items.

While it would be intuitive to have the list view adapt to the board filter settings too, it would help if this could at least be achieved by manually setting a default for the All work Tab - in a project, or better, in a board.

I know, probably there is already a feature request for that...

Tanya Maddalena_0yxhir

Hi everyone 👋🏻

Thanks again for the thoughtful comments, feature suggestions, and feedback. Below are responses to the most common questions that have come up since the announcement of the List + All Work merge.

We’re listening closely and will continue refining the experience based on your input.

📅 Rollout & Availability

Q: What’s the rollout schedule?
We’re rolling out gradually over the next few months. If you don’t see the new List yet, it’s on the way. We’re starting with Free editions, followed by Standard, Premium and Enterprise.

Q: Will the new List be available across all Jira editions?
Yes, the unified List view will be available in all Jira plans.

Q: Can I test this in my sandbox before rollout to production?
Not formally at this stage. However, you can navigate to the "All work" tab to test out the experience, as this will become the new List view.

🧭 Navigation, Filtering & Defaults

Q: Will the new List tab auto-filter to the current project like the old one?
Yes, when accessed from within a project, the List will default to only showing items from that project.

Q: Will the All Work tab disappear? What happens to old bookmarks?
Yes, once the rollout completes, there will be one unified “List” tab. We are implementing redirects so bookmarks to legacy List or All Work views will continue to work.

Q: Why can’t I remove the List tab?
The new List is now one of the primary views of work across Jira. Removing it would break consistency and clarity, the goal is one flexible, powerful list view for all users.

Q: Can I set default sorting or filtering for my team?
Not yet, views are currently user-specific. We know shared/team defaults are important and are exploring options for future support.

🛠 Features & Functionality

Q: Can I create multiple Lists or saved views?
Not currently, but this is a common request and something we’re considering for the roadmap.

Q: Can I expand/collapse all issue hierarchies at once?
Not yet, this is a known request and we’re reviewing feasibility. Right now, items must be expanded manually.
Q: Why can’t I drag-and-drop to reorder when grouping or filtering?
Drag-to-rank only works when sorting by “Rank.” Grouping and certain filters override the ranking sort order, which disables drag-and-drop for now.

Q: Can I filter or group by Sprint?
Yes, you can. You can also group by additional fields such as Goals, Reporter, Labels, Priority and more.

Q: What does the “Hide done” toggle do?
It hides any issue with a status in the “Done” category (statusCategory = Done). You can always customise filters further.

Q: What is the “Freeze Column” option for?
It’s designed to keep key columns (like Summary) visible while scrolling. We're improving the behavior and welcome feedback.

Q: Is export supported in the new List view?
Yes, the new list view supports exporting in multiple formats. This includes popular formats such as CSV, XLSX and Word.

🔍 JSM & Cross-Project Feedback

Q: Will these changes come to Jira Service Management (JSM) queues?
The current rollout is focused on Jira. We’ve shared feedback with the JSM team, but no timeline is confirmed for JSM at this stage.

Q: Why is the experience inconsistent between List and JSM queues?
We understand the frustration, the products are built on shared foundations, but evolved separately. We agree this is an opportunity for more consistency and are passing the feedback on.

Q: Can I use JQL across all views and projects?
We’ve heard this ask (see JRACLOUD-96198) and are actively reviewing ways to improve query and filter consistency across all views.

🧠 General UX Feedback

Q: Why does clicking an item open a full-screen page instead of a side panel?
This is a known change from legacy List. We’re evaluating feedback about drawer-based navigation and may revisit this in the future.

Q: Can I set a default filter for List or All Work views (e.g. matching my board filter)?
Not currently, but we’ve received several suggestions around saved filters and default configurations, and are actively considering this for future work.

We’ll continue updating this post as more feedback rolls in. Your input is helping shape how we evolve List, and we appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your experience 🙏

Thanks again,
Tanya and the Jira team

Yatish Madhav

Thank you @Tanya Maddalena - great FAQ list. Always helps with changes ... i would suggest all product owners/managers post things like this on all the posts for all Atlassian changes

Henri van der Merwe_a7ib4r

Q: Why doesn’t hierarchy work when grouping or filtering?
This is a current limitation, hierarchy and grouping/filtering use different data structures. We’re exploring whether we can support both together in future updates.

@Tanya Maddalena this is really really really inconvenient and painful with the way our team worked, and is making our work review extremely cumbersome - essentially we need to adapt our workflow to make this less painful.

I cannot understand why you released a product before it is ready.

David Amyot

@Tanya Maddalena No offense, but I don't understand. Half the listed features don't even work.. Hierarchy doesn't work, you can't view parent items linked to a children, you can't group, why remove all the working features of the previous iteration from before? I can understand a rework, but how could this have been approved for production when it's clearly a work in progress that barely functions as it should?

Considering this is already live in production, please give us a feature flag to use the old version until you've finished development on it since it seems very far from ready...

Thank you

Henri van der Merwe_a7ib4r

@Tanya Maddalena maybe I am not a sophisticated enough user, but I agree with @David Amyot above - to essentially replace the previous List with the clunky 'all items' List has been a step backwards because Grouping and Filtering does not work with the Hierarchy. As I have mentioned before, please look at Monday.com to see just how flexible and easy Lists could and should be.

Henri van der Merwe_a7ib4r

@Tanya Maddalena the silence on this issue of Q: Why doesn’t hierarchy work when grouping or filtering? is deafening. With respect, this was a major product management oversight and addressing it should be a priority....

David Amyot

I once again agree with @Henri van der Merwe. The lack of acknowledgement on the fact that we had a working list with grouping and hierarchy before and now we don't is really sad.

Again, I completely understand that there can be needs for a rework towards a better system for the future, infrastructure changes, database remodelization or just to simplify a workflow, but that is no excuse to implement a non functional list over the old one that worked. Proper versioning can prevent problems like this and I would expect a big company like Atlassian to offer this on their software; working features in production.

Our team would really appreciate if you could just add a feature flag in our user or team options to re-enable the old list, or just re-enable it for everyone so that we at least have the choice to use the new list that is a work in progress.

Thank you very much and I still hope you'll have a great day!

Jamie Stanczyk

I am actively going through this problem, where when filtering in List View, I lose the hierarchy of the work items. Instead of going through another area of the platform with using Plans/Advanced Roadmaps, I want to, along with other teams, want to stay in the same space. These updates above are going to be such a huge welcome change!

Although, the All Work view currently does allow to remove Done items, the hierarchy is still lost when filtering by assignee. I understand that there is still research to be done, but this functionality is already working with Plans and Roadmaps, so how can this functionality just be moved into this new All Work/List View?

I cannot wait to hear more good news about this change and when it will soon be rolled out. Thank you!!

Rick Westbrock

I am consistently baffled at how Atlassian releases a replacement which does not include all features of the thing it is replacing.

Brian.McGrath

It appears the flag field doesn't appear in the list view. Is there a way to enable that?

Rosalind Barker

@Tanya Maddalena I’m really glad to see the Issue Navigator starting to resemble the list view—it’s a great improvement, and I’ve been excited about these changes! I do have a question regarding the custom people fields. On the old list view, I really liked the icons with initials, and it would be fantastic to see that replicated in the Issue Navigator. Right now, the field just displays the full name and isn’t editable, which feels less user-friendly. Is there any plan to bring back the initials icons in this new view?

I would also like to see hierarchy within grouping - that would be fab.

Haddon Fisher

@Tanya Maddalena I am not sure if this is your team as well or not, but the new "Bulk Operations" UX and flow...and apologies for the bluntness here, but it's a straight-up abomination. I'm at the point now where I wonder if Atlassian legitimately dislikes its users because as janky and old as the old bulk update was....it wasn't this bad.

Please don't inflict this on us.

Wurm Peter

Now that we used it for some weeks, these are the major weak points:

0) The UI still says "project" when it means "space".

1) Preserve hierarchy! No matter which grouping or filtering is active: work items should always preserve their hierarchy. If not, it's completey useless, sorry. Without filters most spaces will contain far too much work items - so filters are active 99% of the time.

If your concern is that with a filter some child issues would be shown that don't match the filter - just mark them visually.

2) Coming from a space the tab "all work items" has the project-filter (should be "space-filter") active. But you can change that and then you see work items from a different space (if you are entitled to). This is extremely confusing for most people. Maybe you should switch to that space then - at least make it somehow (visually) more clear that the user now sees work items from another space but is still in their own space.

3) It often says "filter" when it means "filter option". A filter is a set of filter options (could be a single one, but also several). "Clear filters" might be ok in the English interface, but in German it says "Delete filter". Ehm, no. It removes the filter options from the filter. Further, on the right (why there? filters are on the left) the UI says "Saved filters". So "Clear filters" is more accurate "Remove all filter options".

Wurm Peter

One more:
Great that we can save our own filters which then appear in "Saved filters".

But not so great that we cannot create globally useful filters that appear in every space's "All work items" "Saved filters". Best way would be that we can configure which filters appear among "default filters" ourselves.

Wurm Peter

@Tanya Maddalena One more problem: currently the "list view" is the only place where categories can be administered (create, update, delete) by the space admin.
Sorry, categories can be administered in "all work items", too.

Hi @Tanya Maddalena
Will this change fall already under the yesterday communicated seasonal releases or will it be made available independently?

Kenard D Fraction

You a cut above the rest thank you for your patience.

Wurm Peter

Atlassian likes to claim that they are transparent and customer‑focused.

But what I actually observe is that after an announcement like this one, the topic seems to be dropped entirely. The responsible employee moves on to new tasks and no longer comments on it. Atlassian then waits a few years, and once enough people have complained, they assign someone new to the topic and the whole cycle starts again.

Is my observation wrong? If so, it would be helpful to know whether they are working on the obvious issues this merged tab has, or when we can expect to see those changes in production.

Rosalind Barker

I would like an update please....

Jamie Stanczyk

Is there any update on to when this will be pushed out? Our release updates still say no timeframe identified.

David Washburn

Is there an update on when this will be released? We're trying to launch a project with a business team and I was surprised by the similarities (and ultimately differences) between the two lists. I agree, it's confusing for business teams why some features work on one and not the other. Or why one can be set as a default view and not the other etc.

Max Prehl

Hi there, I'm wondering if there's a way to trigger the bulk-change interface from the new List / All Work view. When selecting items here it seems like I can only Delete or "Edit Fields" but my use-case was needing to migrate issues to a different type (ie. sub-task to story).

Chandra Aggarappa Narayana

Why leaving Summary tab alone, will that also undergo some change?

here is my usecase:

i have space with multiple teams using different sprints

each team have their own board. Summary page in the Team board doesnt honor the filter and doesnt come with Team as filter as well.

This should have been considered in this revamp

Mitchell R Cardwell

Will this have the ability to save column layouts with a filter so that users can have a consistent view experience when opening another user's filter?

Mykenna Cepek

As noted on 13-Oct-2025:

Q: Why can’t I drag-and-drop to reorder when grouping or filtering?
Drag-to-rank only works when sorting by “Rank.” Grouping and certain filters override the ranking sort order, which disables drag-and-drop for now.

The Drag-to-rank feature currently available in our All Work tab doesn't work by default. To see this, go to All Work, and if a Filter is enabled then use "Filter > Clear all". Now try Drag-to-rank. It won't work.

This is because the default All Work filter uses "ORDER BY created DESC". To see this, use "Filter > JQL" with the Filter cleared. This seems wrong, particularly when the Board Filter uses "Order by Rank"!

I would strongly recommend that the "All work" tab use the Board Filter by default, to ensure that:

the work items in "All work" are ranked like users see in the Backlog on their Board; and
the Drag-to-rank feature will work by default (assuming the Board Filter follows the best practice of ending with "order by Rank").

That makes more sense than some arbitrary sort order.

Rosalind Barker

Please can we have an update!!!

Joerg

We have yet to see this merged list tab.

Could you provide an update on its rollout?

And another feature that is supposedly "generally available" but we haven't seen yet. I wonder if it is tied to the new list view only:

deseymour

Is this still going to happen? Do we have a date?

James Woyciesjes

It looks like something has changed in the All Work interface for me. It seems a little cumbersome to get to the JQL option.

The buttons to switch from Basic to JQL to Advanced are sort of "hidden" under the filter button. I thin they should be brought forward and maybe put next to the Search box.
