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.
A bug-fix release addressing blank pages returned by the REST API, the Manage Watchers button, Jira work item dates, Kerberos database access, OpenSearch space queries, sandbox shutdown behavior, task reports, and user profile permissions.
The Atlassian Williams F1 Team uses JSM's Assets to track more than 350,000 car parts and 1,700+ factory machines, giving mechanics and engineers instant access to design documents, assembly info, and maintenance history when logging faults or scheduling equipment across a 1,200-person organization.
Jira's Summer 2026 release brings a Delivery Agent that automates health checks and stakeholder updates, natural-language space generation via Rovo, a rebuilt core with up to 48% faster lists and search, a unified list view, an enhanced software board, a capacity view, and natural-language formula fields.
The rovo:mcp module is now available in EAP. It lets existing and new Forge app actions be exposed as tools inside Rovo Studio, so developers can use them to build custom agents.
Trello rolled out seven AI features for Standard, Premium, and Enterprise users, including AI-built boards from a text description, card merging, generated checklists, AI images, focus-time scheduling, and due dates pulled automatically from card titles.
Atlassian opened several new EAPs: user-scoped app building in Studio, Smart Routing EAP 2 for Workforce Management (skills- and service-based routing), and configurable JSM Operations Reporting and Analytics dashboards for Premium/Enterprise customers.
Atlassian has launched an Early Access Program for service accounts on Data Center products, aimed at modernizing automation, integrations, and security practices. Participating organizations can test the feature and give feedback before general availability.
The final removal of Jira's old workflow editor completed by July 26, 2026. The 'Open Workflow in old editor' option is gone, and all existing workflows must now be viewed and edited exclusively through the new workflow editor.
Trello launched an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Trello to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor, letting users manage boards, lists, cards, and checklists through natural-language commands instead of manual data entry.
Appfire released JMWE 10.0.6 for Jira Data Center, a security-focused patch release. JMWE is one of the most widely installed Jira workflow automation apps, used by more than half of the Fortune 100.
Admins can now deploy configuration changes made in a sandbox directly to production, closing the loop on safely testing changes before they go live across an organization's Atlassian sites.
A bundle of Guard-related admin controls landed together: Guard Detect (replacing the 'Beacon' naming), organization-wide default data classification levels (Guard Premium), and policies restricting which Atlassian sites users can reach from corporate networks (Guard).
Confluence automation rules can now be triggered when a Jira issue is created, closing a gap between the two products for teams that keep documentation and work items in sync.
Jira now has a native Atlassian Project field, letting teams link work items to Atlassian Projects directly from work items and Jira views, with grouping and filtering support for a more connected planning experience.
Confluence's Spring 2026 feature drop lets Rovo create and populate databases from natural-language prompts, adds rich text formatting to database cells, introduces a second grouping dimension (swimlanes) on board views, and improves database embeds on pages and whiteboards.
Tempo updated its interface to match Jira's renamed terminology — "issue" becomes "work item" and "project" becomes "space" — with the same renaming extended to raw data exports so downstream reports stay consistent.
Loom is adding Agent Briefings, letting teams brief AI agents by recording a video instead of writing a prompt, and shipped generally-available bug reporting: a Loom recording via the browser extension auto-captures device info, console logs, and network data into a Jira ticket that can be assigned to Rovo Dev for an automatic fix draft.
Atlassian introduced Product Collection, connecting Jira Product Discovery with a new Feedback tool (aggregating input from support, sales, and surveys) and Rovo AI, plus a Pendo integration — creating a continuous path from customer signal to prioritization to delivery in Jira. Jira Product Discovery Enterprise was also introduced for large-org governance.
Atlassian is phasing out Compass, its internal developer platform, in favor of DX Fabric, built on its acquisition of DX. Compass's scorecard and software catalog functionality will move into DX Fabric, which adds contextual data for AI agents and measures AI's real impact on cycle time and quality. Existing customers get individualized transition plans.
Elements Copy & Sync 5.1.0 added compatibility with the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA), making it easier for teams cloning and syncing issues across projects to migrate to Cloud without losing their configured clone/sync rules.
