ESFJ - May 2025

Summary

In this release, we improved share accessibility, enhanced SSO configuration management, and added better visibility for assignees in shared items. We also addressed several bugs to improve overall reliability and user experience.

Improvements

Improved share accessibility when original user loses access IMPROVED

External Share for Jira now automatically assigns a fallback (reserve) user when the original share owner loses access to the Jira instance (e.g., account disabled, removed, or permissions revoked). This ensures that external shares remain accessible without manual intervention. The fallback user is configured at the project level and is used temporarily during share access — the original actor is not changed in the database.

Separated SSO configuration from Global Settings IMPROVED

The SSO configuration settings have been fully migrated to a dedicated tab, separate from the Global Settings section. This update improves clarity and manageability.

Open

Added assignee visibility for child items IMPROVED

Child items now display the assignee field, improving visibility and usability in shared views.

Bug Fixes

Fixed global admin permissions issue FIXED

Fixed an issue where users without the Global Admin role could not create or edit share links.

Fixed issue type icons in filter view FIXED

Fixed an issue where the issue type icon was missing when the issue type column was added to a filter view.

Fixed “send via email” button FIXED

Fixed an issue where the "Send via email" button would not trigger the mailto: action, particularly in Google Chrome.

Fixed board sub-filter causing filter inconsistencies FIXED

Fixed an issue where using a board sub-filter caused inconsistencies with the Jira filter outcome.

Duplicate issues in shared filter view FIXED

Fixed an issue where applying additional filters to a shared view could result in duplicate issues being loaded.

Fixed time zone issue from voting timestamp FIXED

Fixed an issue where the voting timestamp did not respect the user's time zone settings.

Fixed avatar-related error preventing creation or editing of Issue Layout Settings FIXED

Resolved an issue where users were unable to create or edit Issue Layout Settings due to a missing avatar resource. A 404 error was triggered when the system attempted to load a non-existent issue type avatar, blocking the configuration screen. The avatar loading logic has been updated to handle missing resources gracefully.

Assignee field shows as 'Unassigned' in shared filter FIXED

Resolved an issue where the Assignee field appeared as 'Unassigned' in shared filter, even when tickets had an assigned user. This issue was limited to filter shares and did not affect other share types.
