Improvements
Enhanced performance with frontend update IMPROVED
We have upgraded frontend to Angular 19 to improve performance, strengthen security, and deliver a smoother user experience.
Added default template text to custom template IMPROVED
We have added default template text in custom email templates when empty, providing an editable example for users to follow.
Improved display for mixed RTL and LTR text IMPROVED
Mixed Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR) text now displays correctly aligned and readable on the same line in External Share, similar to Jira.
Added copy button for code snippet fields IMPROVED
A copy button has been added to the code snippet, description, comment, and environment fields for easier content copying.
Improved domain-based automatic account verification for SSO IMPROVED
Domains can be verified manually using a "Verify" button or automatically through a scheduled 24-hour check. Once verified, users registering via SSO with a verified domain will be automatically marked as COMPLETED, bypassing email confirmation.

Bug Fixes
Fixed error with unsupported macro formatting in description FIXED
We have resolved an issue where certain text formatting status, date, emojis components in the Description field were not supported in External Share.
Fixed share form refresh issue FIXED
We’ve fixed an issue where creating a share from the global view didn’t update the share list or open the share form. Now, the list updates instantly, and the form opens without needing a page refresh.
Fixed "No start date" display in timeline view FIXED
The timeline view now correctly displays both the start date and due date when hovering over tasks with defined start dates, eliminating the "No start date" message.
Fixed issue where shares of deleted Jira issues remained in global settings FIXED
Shares of deleted issues no longer appear in the global settings list. When an issue is deleted, its corresponding share is also automatically removed from the list. Additionally, shares for deleted issues can now be deleted immediately via API.
Fixed the issue with the activity filter not working FIXED
Previously, the activity filter did not work in both global and project settings. It now functions correctly, allowing users to filter activity as expected.
Fixed mentions showing as account IDs in emails FIXED
There was an issue with mentions displaying as account IDs in outgoing emails. Mentions in Jira updates now correctly display usernames in email notifications for external share links.
Fixed the UI display for POST sharedLinkEnabled endpoint FIXED
We have fixed an issue where setting "sharedLinkEnabled": false via the API incorrectly resulted in the timeline being created with sharing enabled ("sharedLinkEnabled": true) from the UI perspective.
