We're pleased to present Jira Software 9.14.

This feature release is available only to Data Center customers. If you have a Server license, check out your options for upgrading.

Highlights

Upgrading from 8.x to 9.x triggers full Jira reindex that causes some downtime during the process. If you’re on 8.x now, make sure you’ve estimated the downtime and set the best time for the upgrade.

Archive issues with Jira Automation

You can now archive issues and notify your team about that with Jira Automation. This is a great way to clean the team's board and increase Jira's performance. Archiving issues reduces the instance size and speeds up the actions that require indexing, like searches or updates. To set up automated issue archiving, use the following components:

  • Archive issue action that archives issues when triggers run.
  • Issue archived trigger that runs when an issue is archived.

Additionally, if you need to restore an archived issue, you can run the Issue restored trigger.

Installing apps with the Universal Plugin Manager

The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) allows installing Atlassian and third-party apps on Jira and the other Data Center products in three ways:

  • With the Upload app button on the Manage apps page, where you provide a URL to the app or upload a file with the app.
  • With the REST API (/rest/plugins).
  • With the Install button on the Find new apps page.

In Jira Software Data Center 9.14, you can install new apps only by selecting the Install button on the Find new apps page. Installing new apps with the Upload app button on the Manage apps page or with the REST API is now disabled by default. This limitation prevents unwanted uploads of potentially malicious files to your Jira instance.

If you need to enable app installation with the Upload app button on the Manage apps page or with the REST API, set the following system property. Learn how to set up system properties
