"blocks" changed to "blocked by" with nothing in history to explain it

[Allan Pedersen]

Hi everyone.

I'm seeing a very strange behavior in Jira on multiple stories.

In these scenarios I have two seperate stories, one blocked by the other.

Story A -> Blocks -> Story B

Story B -> Is blocked by -> Story A

In the history log on both stories I can see how this is correctly placed the 14th of March.

But now they are reversed.

Here you see the actual story I'm in "10648" is blocked by "9037".

This is wrong. 
Going into the history log, the only place 9037 is mentioned
is when it was correctly put as "blocks 9037, not blocked by it"

I also checked on 9037 and there the status is now also reversed.

And just to be clear I have gone through the history of both stories, line for line and neither automations or anyone manually changes the link between these stories.

is this a bug? I'm getting reports from developers that this is happening on multiple stories.

Even automations which I rarely use or bulk edits should be reflected in the history log, but nothing shows how this change happened, and I've just to be sure checked no automations are active that could have done this.

I'm not sure if the issue was related to this version of JIRA Software but when I was on 7.9.1 i was not able to access marketplace - we had option to manage add-ons but no option to visit marketplace. may be that was one of the big issues in that version.

Then I moved over to 7.9.2 and had the marketplace option restored.

It's missing because Atlassian cancelled the release o version 7.9.1. Basically it means they had a major error with it. I you upgrade to 7.9.2 you will be able to see the update check again.
