This month, we’re focusing on making your workspace cleaner, planning smarter, and your integrations more powerful. Whether you’re tired of scrolling through endless fields or looking to level up your roadmap skills, we’ve got you covered.
Say goodbye to field fatigue
Ever feel like you are scrolling through a never-ending list of fields to create a work item? Jira and Jira Service Management now learn from the way you create work items, to surface the fields you use.
All the fields you haven’t used in the last 30 days will be hidden in a More fields section. You'll always be able to interact with the hidden fields, but this feature can be turned off.
Managing this feature
-
Select Create from the top navigation bar.
-
From the Create screen select the ‘…’ in the top right-hand side.
-
Toggle on or off Hide unused fields
Level up your roadmaps with the new Jira Plans learning experience
Atlassian has launched the Jira Plans Bite size learning series, a set of five short, high-impact videos designed to turn you into a Jira Plans pro in minutes.
What you’ll learn:
-
Setting up cross-team visibility.
-
Visualizing team capacity to avoid burnout.
-
Tracking dependencies before they become blockers.
Check out the series on the Atlassian Community.
Clear the clutter: archive your issues
Is your backlog looking more like a digital graveyard? Instead of deleting history, you can now archive issues.
-
Why Archive? It removes the noise from your boards, search results, and reports, significantly improving Jira’s performance without losing the data for audit purposes.
-
What happens: Archived issues become read-only. They won't appear in JQL auto complete or your active sprints, but they remain accessible via a direct link.

Power Up with Microsoft Power Automate
For those of you looking to bridge the gap between Jira and the Microsoft ecosystem, we’ve smoothed out the process for Power Automate flows. You can now work directly with our Atlassian site administrators to set up a flow using the Jira connector. This allows you to trigger automated workflows, like creating a Jira issue when a SharePoint item is added or updating a Teams channel when a bug is resolved.
