Jira Software and Jira Service Management common features
New API endpoint for reciprocal issue links
Status: IMPLEMENTED (EAP 01)
We're introducing a new REST API endpoint that makes it easier to create reciprocal issue links between different Jira instances. Previously, you needed to send two separate REST requests to achieve this. Now, with the following endpoint, you can establish these links with a single request.
(POST) {source_jira_url}/rest/api/2/issue/remotelink/reciprocal
This endpoint accepts a JSON payload specifying the source and target Jira instances, along with the necessary details for the link. To see the data format of this API endpoint, expand the content below.
Remove deleted users marked as inactive
Status: IMPLEMENTED (EAP 01)
If users are deleted externally, they remain marked as inactive in Jira. You can now remove these users directly from the User management view. Learn how to remove a user
This feature is on by default. To turn it off, disable the com.atlassian.jira.user.allowDeleteExternallyDeletedUsers
feature flag.
New database integrity check for validating issue links
Status: IMPLEMENTED (EAP 02)
We've added a new database integrity check to ensure that all issue links in Jira are associated with valid issue link types.
This change addresses a common problem when issue link types are deleted from the database but remain in the user interface, causing errors during reindexing. The new integrity check detects and deletes such links from the database, ensuring an uninterrupted reindexing process.
