Find missing issues in Advanced Roadmaps for Jira
For: END USERS ADMINS
We’re introducing the Find your issue feature to help you quickly understand why a specific issue isn’t visible in your Advanced Roadmaps for Jira dashboard. You can search for any issue by its key, and Jira will analyze your dashboard’s filters and settings to explain why the issue is missing.
Diagnostics run in the background. Each request is handled separately, and rate limits help maintain consistent performance.
To find missing issues:
- From the Roadmap tab, go to Settings, then Configure, then select Find your issues.
- In the search box, enter the issue key and select Search.

Manage your integrations and automations with service accounts
For: ADMINS
Service accounts are specialized, non-user accounts created for secure and efficient management of automated processes and external integrations. With service accounts, you can securely access REST APIs using the OAuth 2.0 authentication method to execute scripts and run tasks while maintaining full control of permissions. All actions performed by service accounts are tracked, providing visibility into their operations.
To set up a service account:
- Go to Administration, then User management, then from the sidebar select Service accounts.
- Select Create service account.
- Follow the prompts to configure your service account’s details, scopes, and resources, then generate your OAuth 2.0 credentials.
- Review all the details and copy your credentials to a safe place.

Sign SAML authentication requests
For: ADMINS
We’re implementing signed Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication requests to strengthen your instance’s security. When SAML is enabled, the authentication plugin generates a certificate and private key during startup. The private key signs SAML authentication requests, and you can download the certificate to upload to your Identity Provider (IdP). This lets the IdP verify the authenticity and integrity of each request.
To enable signing SAML authentication requests, go to the Authentication methods page and select Sign requests. Explore SAML single sign-on for Atlassian Data Center applications
React 18.3 and Atlaskit upgrade
For: ADMINS
We're upgrading Jira Data Center to use React 18.3 and the latest Atlaskit components. This update helps keep your instance secure and compliant by enabling continuous security updates and bug fixes from Atlaskit and React. In Jira 11.1, we upgrade Platform packages, Jira Service Management, and Assets.
The React 16 web resources exposed by Jira are now deprecated. We recommend migrating your custom apps and integrations to React 18.3 to ensure compatibility and continued support. Review code sharing and migration guidance
