Good morning ☕️,

weekly dose of caffeine and Atlassian news is here!

This week we've got an announcement of a new secret release management group 🤫, improvements to create linked issues in Jira, plenty of ecosystem acquisitions, and a reminder to join the first Appy hours of this year!

We run Monday coffee with Jexo podcast weekly on Youtube and Spotify, subscribe so you don't miss the next episode! 

🚀 New improvements to the Atlassian products

Changes to Create Linked Issues

The Create linked issue screen in Issue view & Advanced issue search will now base its configuration on the screen scheme of that project and issue type. You'll now be able to see optional fields, reorder fields, and use features like the request type field on Jira Service Management projects.

👀 Important announcements

New Software Release Community

If you're a release manager or involved in any way with software releases you might be interested in joining this group. Atlassian wants to understand your software release processes and share with you ideas about the topic.
