Hi @Divya TV

Thanks for your comment. We are currently working on unifying this Teams concept with the Team field in Advanced Roadmaps. In the long run there will be one team field that can be used across Jira (and other products), simplifying the experience for users.

Hi @Anasuya Ghosh

I'm taking over managing this EAP from Anish.

Not sure how your Jira is configured for subprojects, but if you use Jira components, Jira labels, or a custom field to designate a subproject to an issue, then you may have a good use case for the Team field. The Team field will allow you to assign an issue to a Team, which is a group of people in the directory.

Hi @Arnd Layer 

Awesome, please fill out the signup form if you haven't already. That's right - the values in the Team picker will be identical to the Teams you have in Team Central.

@akoleva The Team field is only available in JSW Cloud right now, sorry about that. 

@Ferre Bynoe Appreciate the interest! This EAP is only focused on Jira Software, but we do have plans to bring the Team field into Jira Service Management in the future.

Hello @Anish Deena,

Could you tell if Teams are available for apps via REST API? In particular I would like to pull the list of teams, and give the user an option to select one of them.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Grzegorz Tańczyk {Appfire}! I'm helping out with the product team at Atlassian. Yes, the Team field is a regular managed custom field so it'll be available via REST API.

We would love to test this out. Sounds like a big improvement on planning and ticket handling.

@Tracy Chow Thank you for the response, I think I already see this custom field, and I can already set it with some value, but the problem is that I cannot fetch the list of teams. In particular the `/rest/teams/1.0/teams/find` REST endpoint is not available for Jira apps.

@Grzegorz Tańczyk {Appfire} No problem. That's actually not a custom field specific REST endpoint; it's an Advanced Roadmaps teams specific endpoint so it is the Team field from Advanced Roadmaps. 

When I mentioned that the field is a regular custom field, it was only about the field. The entities associated with the field are not currently exposed via a documented public API.

apologies if this has already been covered.  What is the benefit of adding people to teams besides being able to @ mention the whole team?  Doesn't look like teams can be added as watchers?  I've struggled with adding people to teams in Advanced Roadmaps also and don't usually do it.

I am keen on trying this feature. We ahve found that tems in Jira almost perfect, but cannot suit for our use-cases, however, this new approach may help us quite a lot. Will be perfect to try it asap. Thanks!

@joey_klein No worries at all, thanks for asking. Teams can also be used for shares (such as sharing a Jira issue or Confluence page to every member of a team). You can also use the team profile to stay up to date on team activity, view recent documents or issues that the team have worked on, and share links to important resources.

With this EAP, you'll be able to associate Jira issues to teams, search issues by team using JQL, and view Jira issues on the team profile. This team concept will soon replace the one in Advanced Roadmaps for planning and capacity management. 

We're looking to roll out more features in the future to help people collaborate with teams, such as using teams in automation or access control, so there's more to come!

Is it too late to get on this list? I would love to trial this.

Hey everyone who is interested in Teams,

We started an AGG API that can be used by consumers to fetch team data!.

Do we know if we can restrict users to edit shared team which are created. It should be okay for jira-admins or project admin to delete/modify the team created though.

Hi @Anuradha Das, thank you for your question. Currently, our concept supports "Open teams" which means anyone part of the team or part of the org can "Modify" the team data and membership. We are looking to introduce more Teams types in the near future and we will keep you posted.

Has this feature rolled out to production yet? I thought it was planned for this quarter.

If it has rolled out, do we simply manage this in the Shared teams under Jira Plans?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Kal

Hi @Kaldean Brown, this is still a work in progress. We will keep posting updates as the work progress. Meanwhile, you still can use Jira premium shared teams the way you used to.

Hey @Kaldean Brown ,

Hope you're well and apologies about the slow response. We've had quite a bit of change here and I'm the new product manager looking after Teams in Jira - I'll be active in this community starting today.

The answer to your question is no, it has rolled out yet in Premium instances - the current target date is December. 

However, if you're interested in getting in earlier, we're looking to roll out to a Premium customer EAP in September. This will be targeting those who use shared teams and have less than 10 teams. Depending on your use case, we might be able to get you on earlier. Does this apply to you? 

Let me know, and look forward to your response :)
