Removed Easy Templates actions under Glance View and Quick Access button as Atlassian has fixed an issue why we had to introduce that view in version v1.5.8-AC Jira Cloud 17 Aug 2019
Check Reason For changes
After previous release we've decided to change "Easy Templates Actions" location so they don't take central panel space.
Templates Actions moved to Issue Glance View (for New Jira UX)
"Save Template", "Apply Template" actions available on a right side bar
We stiil going to keep "Save" and "Apply" actions as a part of Issue Menu items. So on A JSD (Jira Service Desk) Projects is won't be shown on Glance view, which is simply not available there, but on a menu |
Reason for the changes: recent regression issues found in Jira functionality |
Change "Save/Apply templates flow" to fix the issue of not receiving context parameters from Jira
Use the quick add menu in Jira Issue to show "Easy Templates" action buttons.
