8th June 2022
What's New?
Updated Comala Canvas for Jira app to integrate the new Atlassian parent field.
This new parent field is part of Atlassian changes to standardize how Jira associates parent and child issues in Jira public API and Webhook events. This includes Atlassian's deprecation of a number of fields including Epic Link and Parent Link custom fields in REST APIs and webhooks.
In Comala Canvas
a new parent field is selectable as a new dimension of a Comala Canvas board
moving a task/issue under a parent on a Comala Canvas board will change the parent
The new issue field parent is not the same as an epic link, it retrieves all the issues that are parents, not only the epics.
Change also includes an update of the Comala Canvas Epic field to use the new Atlassian parent field (to show parents that are only epics).
💛 If the Comala Canvas Epic link field is used as a board dimension, you will need to move to the new Comala Canvas Epic field. This will prevent those boards from rendering blank after Atlassian stops supporting the epic link field.
27th April 2022
What's New?
