We're changing ProForma templating service

For: ADMINS

We’ve decommissioned the current templating service and integrated the template library directly into ProForma, eliminating the need to fetch templates from external URLs. This update brings improved security and performance and allows airgapped instances to leverage ProForma templates. Additionally, you no longer need to allowlist the ProForma service URL to use templates, which simplifies the the app setup.

This change impacts both ProForma and ProForma Lite. To avoid interruptions to your work, update your ProForma app before April 30, 2025:

• If you’re using:

  • any Jira Software version between 9.8.0 and 9.17.5, update to ProForma 8.8.9-DC.

  • any Jira Service Management version between 5.8.0 and 5.17.5, update to ProForma 8.8.9-DC.

  • any Jira version between 10.0.x and 10.2.x, update to Jira 10.3 or later and update to ProForma 10.4.0-DC or later.

• If you’re using Jira 10.3.0 or later, update to ProForma 10.4.0-DC or later.

If you choose not to update, you won’t be able to use templates as they’ll stop working.

New API endpoint for reciprocal issue links

For: END USERS ADMINS

We're introducing a new REST API endpoint that makes it easier to create reciprocal issue links between different Jira instances. Previously, you needed to send two separate REST requests to achieve this. Now, with the following endpoint, you can establish these links with a single request.

(POST) {source_jira_url}/rest/api/2/issue/remotelink/reciprocal

This endpoint accepts a JSON payload specifying the source and target Jira instances, along with the necessary details for the link. Explore Jira Data Center REST API documentation

New database integrity check for validating issue links

For: ADMINS

We've added a new database integrity check to ensure that all issue links in Jira are associated with valid issue link types.

This change addresses a common problem when issue link types are deleted from the database but remain in the user interface, causing errors during reindexing. The new integrity check detects and deletes such links from the database, ensuring an uninterrupted reindexing process.
