Updates to how you give people access to your next-gen projects

Listening to your feedback, we’ve moved access settings to a more intuitive space. Check out your next-gen project’s Access page (called Internal access in Jira Service Desk). It replaces your old People page in your project’s settings. We moved your project access settings from the Details page to the Access page, too, so you can easily manage individual and site-wide access in a single place.

New user profile cards

When you hover over someone’s name in directories, on dashboards, and in user picker fields, you’ll now start to see rich profile cards with more information and a link to the user’s profile (if you have permission to see it).

New issue view: Cascading select field

Cascading select custom fields are here for the new issue view. Cascading select fields let you choose from a list of options then from a refined list of child options. For example, choose a country, then choose a state/province.

To change the position of cascading select fields in the issue view, open an issue and choose Configure at the bottom right.

GitHub app on the Atlassian Marketplace

We've partnered with GitHub to build a new and improved integration, which you can install at the Atlassian Marketplace. This replaces the DVCS connector in Jira's system settings. Current GitHub integrations set up under the old method will continue to work, but new integrations must be set up using the app on the Atlassian Marketplace. We're rolling out this update gradually, so it may not be on your Jira Cloud site yet.

This won't affect GitHub Enterprise integrations, which must still be set up via the DVCS connector.

Issues with the customer organizations field now use the organization name instead of ID when exporting to CSV

When exporting Jira issues to CSV from the Jira Issue Navigator, the Custom field (Organizations) now contains the name of the organizations linked to the issue. The field previously contained the organization ID, which was not valuable for exports used for reporting.

As part of this change, a CSV import can now match organizations by both their ID and their name. No changes are needed if you use CSV export files for import.
