Improvements

Webhook optimization IMPROVED

We started receiving so much traffic from Jira that our server had trouble processing all messages.
We use those messages to send notification to External Users about changes in issue if they subscribed.

Domain and selected users columns IMPROVED

Two additional columns are now available (optional) to display selected users configuration on share list view, if an external share link has selected users, on the share list (project and global) you can view the list of domains and email addresses of the that share.

Personal view IMPROVED

Navigating to the apps drop down menu and selecting External Share will now be dynamic.
If user is Non-admin, they will see a list of created links by them, if the user is admin, they will have access to global settings as well as the list view, admins also get a quick filter button to instantly view links created by them.

External comment and attachment error feedback IMPROVED

If an issue has commenting and attachment restrictions, the comment feedback on External Share will now inform external user of the restriction, given the external users attempts to comment or add attachments.

Issue/ project restrictions are forced by Jira, you can restrict external user actions on commenting and attachments from External Share configuration page.

Roadmap UI IMPROVED

Roadmap UI is now tuned to improve user experience.

Bug fixes

Linked issues in dark-mode FIXED

Linked issues field is now tuned to match dark-mode, previously hovering over this field would reflect a white background.

String issue summary FIXED

There was an issue where the external user dashboard would break if the summary of an issue was made entirely of a single and long string, it is now fixed.

New documentation
