Recently Viewed list is wrong

[Paul Herzing]

In Confluence Cloud, my Recents list under search  is correct and current. But when I'm editing I like using the Recently Viewed list when creating links, and that list is so far from reality, I've had to rely on Search instead. Is there something I can do to get Recently Viewed working again?

I have not verified this problem with any of my coworkers, but it has been a problem for at least a few months, regardless of workstation or browser.

Hi @Paul Herzing

I tested this on our Cloud instance - it does show the last 50 issues you viewed (aside the one you're editing if it's part of the list) - just not in the recently viewed order.

The search query it's using is: 

issuekey in issueHistory() 

Were it to put it in the right order, it'd need to use:

issuekey in issueHistory() ORDER BY lastViewed DESC

On Server it appears the latter query is what is used - see this page - but not on Cloud, where the former is used.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that the list had any logic to it, but I think you've got it right. The list makes more sense in reverse order. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be something I can change as an administrator of a cloud environment, and getting to the bottom of the list is more work than searching. Is there a correct way to submit a feature request to Atlassian?

Create feature suggestions via https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

It's best to search for similar ideas / bugs first - for example I found JRACLOUD-70263, JRACLOUD-33713 and JRACLOUD-18601 which might be of interest :)

Wow. I'm late to this party. I should have checked open bugs first. Thanks!
