Adaptavist confirmed that ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud, ScriptRunner for Confluence Cloud, and Enhanced Search for Jira Cloud are all moving to the Atlassian Forge platform by the end of 2026. Existing scripts, behaviours, jobs, and configurations carry across; a small number of older event types change, and Adaptavist is contacting affected customers directly.
A new capability lets users search across multiple connected Atlassian sites from one place instead of switching between them, rolling out starting August 2026.
Jira Plans can now display and use Assets object custom fields on the timeline, letting teams tie roadmap planning directly to the assets and configuration items tracked in JSM Assets. Rolling out starting August 2026.
Jira work items now surface AI-powered 'next best action' suggestions directly in context, part of a wider push to make Rovo proactive rather than just conversational. Rolling out starting August 2026.
Bitbucket Cloud's native Issues tracker and Wikis are fully removed on August 20, 2026. Atlassian recommends exporting Issues to Jira Software and migrating Wiki content to Confluence before the deadline.
Xray Test Management for Jira released version 8.5.1, a bug-fix update addressing compatibility issues across Jira 9, 10, and 11 for Data Center and Server customers.
As of August 17, 2026, Atlassian is using metadata and in-app data from Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management — including page titles, work item descriptions, and comments — to train its AI models. Free, Standard, and Premium customers cannot opt out, while Enterprise customers can adjust the setting manually.
