Summary 🌟
In this release note, we introduce improved filtering, and several bug fixes. Notable updates include security vulnerability fixes, and improved CSS styling.
...
Improvements
Improved boards: strikethrough for "Done" status
We added strikethrough text to the status of issues marked as "Done" on both boards and custom boards. So now it’s easy to distinguish if tasks are completed.
...
User verification required for new SAML workspace
We have improved the SAML workspace setup process by introducing a mandatory user verification step. Only authorized users can create or join a new SAML workspace.
We made a confirmation popup for the "Restore all default values?" button in Global Settings > Page Customization. This change prevents accidental loss of changes by requiring user confirmation before resetting settings to default.
Added JQL filter by field
Introduced filtering by fields visible in the table, including text fields for User, Project, Label, Priority, Status, Issue Type, and date-time pickers for filtering by after/before. Additionally, fields like Fix Version and Components are included for more precise searches.
Decategorized configuration view
Removed category-based filtering in configuration views, making all configurations visible regardless of the selected share type. This ensures that JSM-specific options are accessible when share types include support tickets, improving usability across all views.
Improved JQL filtering by labels
We added text input support for label filtering in JQL. Previously, labels couldn't have spaces or special characters, causing errors. Now it allows more flexible label usage.
Swapped the current markdown editor for our custom Contract Signature WYSIWYG editor for comments and description editing. This change introduces better customization options, a tailored toolbar, and improved ADF ↔︎ HTML conversion.
Improved link management: Drag and drop for order
Previously, once a link is added, you couldn’t change how they were placed. Now, you can easily drag contents to rearrange links.
...
Renamed column if_share_link_enabled to share_link_enabled
Updated the column name in the shared_issue
table from if_share_link_enabled
to share_link_enabled
to remove confusion caused by the "if_" prefix, which incorrectly suggested it was an issue field.
Improved card layout
Improved the card layout for even distribution across the page. This update ensures that cards are organized neatly and the layout is responsive to various screen sizes.
Redesigned icon for 'no result' in dashboard
We have redesigned External Share icon with magnifier icon.
...
Changed the scroll behavior on the timeline table to always display the horizontal scroll. Both horizontal and vertical scrolls are now visible.
Redesigned error pages for detailed information
Error pages are redesigned to view issue with respective message like license expired, Atlassian reload required, version mismatch. Applied for a view for both light and dark mode.
Bug Fixes
Fixed null pointer in filter view for time tracking
Resolved a null pointer occurring in the filter view when time tracking fields are null. Now, the system safely handles null fields, preventing crashes in the filter view.
Fixed: delayed response causes duplicate share creation
The 'Create External Share Board' button is now disabled and greyed out immediately after the first click to prevent multiple submissions caused by repeated clicks during a delayed response.
Fixed error when filtering by project on shared filter page
Previously, when users entered a project name in the search input, an error page was displayed. After the fix, the system now correctly displays issues or results from the searched project as expected. Additionally, filtering using multiple projects via JQL is now fully supported without errors.
SMTP fix for watcher notifications
Fixed an issue where custom SMTP settings blocked watcher notifications to external users. Notifications now work correctly with SMTP setup.
We resolved an issue where the comment author prefix was not appearing in Jira when comments were added via External Share. After the fix, comments now correctly display the author's name.
Fixed issue with allowCreateNewIssue field not set during share creation
We resolved an issue where the allowCreateNewIssue
field was not being set during the creation of a new share in Jira. After the fix, allowCreateNewIssue
field is correctly set during share creation.
Custom board - unable to start watching issues
Previously, attempting to watch issues resulted in an error. This bug has been fixed.
Fixed frontend error: 'undefined' provided instead of stream
We resolved an error where 'undefined' was given instead of a valid stream type
Security Fixes
Unauthorized share deletion vulnerability fixed
Prevented users with customer privileges from deleting external shares without Jira access using a valid JWT.
Unauthorized modification of board card settings vulnerability fixed
Fixed a vulnerability where Jira Service Desk users could modify board card settings without permission. Now, only authorized users can change settings.
Cross-Instance IDOR vulnerability fixed
We fixed a critical vulnerability that allowed attackers from one Jira instance to modify external share settings or access API key usage data in another instance.
Fixed XSS vulnerability in external share link creation
Resolved an XSS vulnerability triggered when creating an external share link with a project name containing an XSS payload. This prevents malicious scripts from executing in shared links.
CSS Styling Fixes
Fixed an issue where extra space appeared when using the "Group By" filter on boards and custom board shares for fields like Epic and Assignee.
Fixed white text format tab in dark mode on create issue tab
We fixed an issue where the text format tab appeared white in the "Create Issue" tab on the Board/Timeline External share page in Dark mode. Now it appears as black color in dark mode.
...
Fixed issue type icons not displayed in shared links
Sometimes, issue type icons were not shown on the board, issue view, JQL, and roadmap when opening a shared link without logging into ESFJ. Icons now display properly.
Fixed text and code snippet overflow in comment section
Resolved an issue where long text and code snippets overflowed in the comment section. Now, both text and code snippets are properly contained within the comment section.
Fixed priority field size issue
Adjusted the Priority field size to fit within the details section boundaries.
