@Bryan Guffey I want to fully acknowledge and recognize that AI is clearly working for you. And while you may qualms about the scientific rigor of these studies, I hope you would at least acknowledge and not invalidate the experience that @Rachelle Rathbone and many many others have felt. As she wrote, internally her post:…

But wait! It gets worse. Atlassian has quietly removed Default maintenance windows (1-3AM server local time) from the Atlassian Maintenance Policy page: Here's what used to be on that page (as of Feb 14, 2026 ❤️): Default maintenance window The maintenance window occurs daily between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the timezone of…

Should be fun! Thanks for the invite!!

Great piece @Rachelle Rathbone although I will admit to skimming a bit. I just read the whole damn thing. Whew, that was really good. Thank you for taking the time to put it down. :-D I especially appreciate the citations, as my friend @Bryan Guffey will definitely challenge those studies with studies of their own. :-} I'm…

@Mykenna Cepek so nice to see your name again! So in response to @Greg D you wrote: > [Advanced Forms] do work in Jira directly in some environments, but that’s usually via exceptions / special configuration these days with new sites. I was pleased to notice recently that Advanced Forms are directly available now in our…

Poor little Rovo Studio - it really was trying it's best, parroting both my prompt, as well as the meager documentation, but like me, not figuring out how the heck it was actually going to end up. For the record, my Smart Values ended up being: * {{fetchedConfluencePagelookup.pageId}} *…

And so I'm not just posting nonsense here, this was the bit about Smart Values and how they're constructed from output parameters in manifest.yml that is NOT well-documented. In Smart values output with Forge apps Atlassian writes: We can now leverage smart value processing with Forge apps, this allows us to use the output…

OH, I just remembered that Atlassian blocks Gmail registrations on events.atlassian.com, like for Team '26, etc. That's super annoying. But ace.atlassian.com is a different system, so I think us Gmailers are ok there. For now. :-}

Hey sorry, this is kind of a necropost, but the recording of this webinar actually helped me figure out what the heck the Smart Values of an Automation Action that I created over the weekend were: (I did not even think to look in the Smart Values Help Panel! By the way I realized today despite being introduced by @Sophia…

{{lookupIssues.customfield_12345.value.flatten.match("(Yes)").size|0}} @Bill Sheboy NICE. I was thinking about how to use size and thought I'd have to do the split + join trick, but flatten + match is far more elegant. Ah, this takes me back to the days of Perl, where one of the chief tenets was (is?!) TIMTOWTDI. :-}

Ah yeah, no, setting {{count}} = 0 didn't help, and I could only get it to work when I wrapped the whole thing in a math expression, like Trudy did: Total: {{#=}}0{{#lookupIssues}}{{#if(equals(customfield_10151.value, "google-112233"))}}+1{{/}}{{/}}{{/}} OH wait. Right. The problem is that maybe you never actually…

Hi - I'm sure 's answer is right, but I was curious about why yours gave what it did. Total: {{#lookupIssues}}{{#if(equals(customfield_12345.value, "Yes"))}}{{#=}}{{count}}+1{{/}}{{/}}{{/}} I believe the reason is that {{count}} is not a valid Smart Value, and so Automation is interpreting it as an empty string, and then…

Hi @JEFFREY SCHNEIDER - I'm sure @Trudy P Claspill 's answer is right, but I was curious about why yours gave what it did. Total: {{#lookupIssues}}{{#if(equals(customfield_12345.value, "Yes"))}}{{#=}}{{count}}+1{{/}}{{/}}{{/}} I believe the reason is that {{count}} is not a valid Smart Value, and so Automation is…

'twould be good to know when we're going to get this in Release Tracks. ALSO, since Atlassian loves to copy Google (see: collaborative editing in Confluence), could I suggest they actually copy something USEFUL from Google and provide "breadcrumbs" (oh don't get me started about Confluence breadcrumbs) that would lead…

Oh. I figured it out. It's a new feature. Please see my answer above.

For those of us on Bundled Release Track, I see this in Admin Administration under: Apps->Platform experiences->Release management->App updates (whew!) And it's definitely not in any of the emailed Release Track notes I've gotten in the last year: * Unofficial Atlassian Release Tracks Notes 

So of course my next question will be: Was this announced in Release Notes? Uhm... Kind of: From the new Community Release Notes: * Preview work items with resizable panels (Rollout schedule: Starting in May 2026) "Jira is replacing the detail view in the List view and Global Search with a resizable preview panel." From ye…

Ok I started to file a support ticket for the demo site where I replicated what @Steve Nienaber and @jpratt were seeing, and the AI Support Bot actually directed me to the right answer: We are getting the new Preview Panels as part of the new Jira work item search experience. Specifically: * Preview Panels will soon…

I took a look at various prod and demo sites I have and was able to replicate it on one of them. @Steve Nienaber and @jpratt probably the best course of action is to file a Support Ticket. I'd also recommend telling them that others are seeing the same thing, and you could share your ticket ID here so you can add that to…

You might want to ask @Rodney Nissen _Work Wranglers_ _TJL_ how that went. :-}

Yeah @Dave LIAO I'm with @Jimmy Seddon - you should've joined in on the call. Or at the very least start talking out loud about the gory details of your latest visit to the orthodontist. Or spoilers for all the latest movies. Or maybe just narrate what's happening: "So you wouldn't believe it, but there's a guy in the…

Hilariously, I followed the "folklore holds" link to this Hacker News thread: Jira is Turing-complete. Where someone replied: Can't read this thread without remembering the following nugget: https://x.com/HackerNewsOnion/status/981609242221318145?s=19 AND I LOLed: And this comment there reminded me that @Eugene…

Oh, so here's the Automation Rules: He then starts talking about Fibonacci (where I am thoroughly lost) and includes some interesting bits here about Jira Cloud's limits vs Data Center properties around Automation timeouts: Unlike the addition machine, the Fibonacci machine has no halt state. It runs until Jira Cloud's…

Hi @Christina Ristevski - I tried this on our instance that is on Release Tracks. The ability to use Rovo to create Confluence Databases supposedly should have reached our instance on April 14, 2026: Streamline content creation with Create with Rovo And checking my Admin Hub, it shows a status of [ROLLOUT COMPLETE]. The…

Conversely, @Dana Bar Lavie Jones now that Databases are visible to Rovo, can we NOW have an API endpoint to them?

So, is it necroposting if it's your own post you're resurrecting from the dead? :-D Well, I would posit that the problem isn't dead because people are still actively commenting on CLOUD-12193 - Reduce occurrences of accidental site creations. Since the new year, there have been 17 comments about this issue, which leads me…

THIS. IS. GREAT. @Alex Chiu So much better than the frankly embarrassing Atlassian Cloud Documentation blog posts * Permanent links to individual changes! (Instead of having to rely on "Copy link to highlight" browser hack.) * Drastically expanded change descriptions including Key changes and Benefits Very much looking…

Hi @Glenda Hernandez ! I too recently got a similar email, and site was created in my name, darrylleerokuworkspace-12345678. Two things are curious about this: 1. The site has only THREE APPS: Goals, Loom, and Projects (is there even a way to sign up for just those three apps? 2. The site was created while I was on a…

As @Dr Valeri Colon _Connect Centric_ can attest to, I tend to use Slack threads as rubber ducks. I'll pose a question, and then sometimes answer myself or work it out, all by typing to the thread. (When I watch LLMs do this I sometimes get an eerie sense of kinship.) Do you actually talk to your rubber ducks out loud? I…

My kids both have Blåhajes.
