Hey Everyone! I'm Anne, a product manager on the Jira team. My team looks after the Summary view: the tab in your space that shows status, recent activity, workload, priorities and what's due, all on one page. Some of you open Summary every day. Some of you probably skip right past it to the board. Either way, I'd love to…
Hi Atlassian Community! 👋 I’m Swarna, a Product Manager on Jira Cloud Workflows team. If you are a Jira Admin, you likely receive a steady number of requests from teams wanting to automate routine tasks, integrate AI agents into their day-to-day processes, or customize their space workflows. Today, AI agent rules in Jira…
The Custom Field Zoo: when nobody remembers why a field exists Jira's flexibility is the reason most of us adopted it. A new requirement appears, a new custom field is created, work continues. At team level, that is exactly how it should work. The trouble starts years later, at platform level: hundreds of fields, unclear…
Quiz Time! Quick test: without looking, how many custom fields does your instance have? Many admins guess somewhere between 50 and 100. Then they open the admin screen and find 400. I've seen instances with tens of thousands (yes, you read that right). Nobody planned for that. It just happened, one reasonable request or…
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on the upcoming transition from Field Configurations to the new Field Schemes, announced on this post late last year. We understand that this is a significant architectural change, especially for our veteran Jira Admins managing large-scale instances. To help clarify the…
A Jira admin's October calendar has three dates on it this year. A JQL change was announced on 6 October, global statuses reach team-managed projects on 12 October, and the new work item view starts switching itself on from 19 October. Two of the three are automatic. Below is what each one does according to Atlassian, what…
Three weeks ago I put the old weekly "Atlassian Cloud changes" page next to its replacement (the side-by-side). @Mia Tamm _Simpleasyty_ made the point in the comments that the new stream is better data and a worse routine: the weekly page was somebody else's filter, and from tomorrow the filter is yours. This is the one I…
Hi all. Disclosure: I am the developer of this app. Jira Cloud has no single view of "which group can do what, in which project". JRACLOUD-71967 asks for it and has over 1,000 votes since 2019. Today you open each permission scheme, then each project role, one by one. I built a small Forge app that does this on one page…
I opened Data security policy this morning and there is a row I did not create: Atlassian MCP server, default configuration Allowed, applies to Jira and Confluence, overrides 0, updated by Atlassian (first screenshot below). It arrived on 29 September (Rovo MCP changelog) as a data security policy control that governs how…
A reader of my last discussion put it better than I had: on his org, Rovo Overview shows zero users with AI enabled and the Rovo Access blocklist says no AI is in use, while the Rovo MCP server page and the Teamwork Graph say an external tool could read his Confluence tomorrow. Both are true. They are answers to different…
