Release Notes

10/04/2025 Compatibility changes

What's changed?

The app adopted the upcoming Atlassian Cloud REST API changes regarding JQL validation and searching issues using JQL expressions.

Normally, the user experience should not be affected, but it is conceivable that some already existing configurations might produce runtime errors due to the more restrictive nature of the new API (which could not be validated and enforced at the time of configuration).

Affected areas:

  • The issue lookup ('Find issue' tab) Mail Handler's email processing based on custom JQL ('Lookup by JQL' section), which may be manifested in failing email processing.

  • The validation of any JQL expressions throughout the app (when saving the entity).

Todo: If you encounter any Mail Handler error that is bound to issue lookup, please revisit your Mail Handler configuration and re-validate your custom JQL expressions (by saving the Mail Handler configuration again). The new validation process shall inform you about potential errors introduced by the restrictions of the new API.

04/04/2025 Changes in Marketplace listing

What's new?

Email This Issue is now listed as a Forge app on Marketplace

Technically speaking, as a result of a transformation process, our app is now runs on Atlassian's Forge platform, but remained unchanged in its internal nature. Thereby it is considered a harmonised/hybrid application, which Atlassian calls Connect-on-Forge.

It's important to note that there is no effective change in the user experience, apart from some administrative changes and the app listing (presentation) on the Atlassian Marketplace. The app's new Cloud Marketplace version is 2.0.0 as of 4th April and 2.1.0 as of 9th April, respectively.

For existing customers, there is nothing to do upon this change, the app will automatically get the corresponding update in the background on all Cloud sites affected.

Support for Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC)

For U.S. Government customers requiring FedRAMP-compliant operation, Atlassian's new AGC offering became recently available. The Email This Issue app joined the list of approved applications, i.e. the app is now compatible with Atlassian's AGC environment reserved for U.S. Government tenants.

The AGC variant of the app is not publicly available on the Atlassian Marketplace. It can be requested by eligible customers via the Atlassian Customer Support portal.

25/03/2025 Major improvements and bugfixes

What's new?

Attachment filters

From this release, Attachment filters for Mail Handlers' Add comment and Create issue actions can be found separately under the Attachment Filters menu point. A new filter (File Type and Size) is available in addition to the existing filters so far.

However, the already set Attachment policies in Mail Handler still work properly, it is strongly recommended to migrate to the new Attachment Filters. To facilitatet this change, Migrate button is available in the concerned Mail Handlers' Add comment and Create issue actions.

For further information please visit the following site:

New UI for Manual Email Screen and Emails tab

A brand new UI is available for Manual Email Screen and for the Emails tab.

Please note that the very first loading of the optimized Manual Email Screen for each user will be a bit slower than usual. However subsequent loading of the screen will have improved loading time compared to the previous version, providing a smoother experience.

03/12/2024 Major improvements and bugfixes

What's new?

Support for rendering Assets field data in Email Templates It is now possible to render Assets data in Email Templates. The limitation is that all the attributes of an Assets object contained in an Assets custom field will be rendered and sent out, regardless of what can be seen in the field on the issue. Hidden fields are also included if the Assets Macro is used in a Template.

For more information please visit the following page:

Attach the original email to an issue as an .eml file

From this release, it is possible to attach .eml files when an issue is created or commented on by email. Choose the option in the Mail Handler Create or Comment action.

Email Security

The app is now able to parse and process incoming S/MIME encrypted emails.

Attachments can be uploaded on the Manual Email Screen

Uploading files as attachments to the Jira issue before sending out an email is possible now directly from the Manual Email Screen (while editing the message), considering and applying Jira site limitations.

Default reporter for Mail Handlers is now required

A technical user with elevated grants is now mandatory, while configuring Mail Handlers to correctly cover particular use cases. However, a repeated attempt with this user upon failure is not occurs by default. Existing Mail Handler can operate in the background without default reporter provided. Assigning a default reporter is mandatory upon next editing only.

Cropping comments if limit is exceeded

The app now cuts the excess text on comments in case the character limit is exceeded, which is 32 000.

What's fixed?

Deprecating send another email pop-up

Instead of the pop-up message a new checkbox is available on the Manual Email screen for those who wish to send a second email right away.

Adjust Email This Issue to changes in Jira's group handling

Email this Issue used to use group names to identify groups in recipient picker fields. As Jira introduced group IDs instead of group names, we also started to use group IDs in Email this Issue. On the UI groups are still displayed by their names, but from now on groups are mostly saved by their ID in the database. Exception: Recipient restrictions and Mail Handler Comment Visibility are saved both by ID and name.

What's fixed?

  • Small fixes for the new Mail Handler UI, such as

    • fixed saving for Role restricted comment

    • false JQL validation caused error in saving the handler

It is also possible to use Microsoft Graph Incoming Connection with a shared mailbox.

Emails that have been landed in the Outgoing Error Queue can be requeued in just one click.

  • User profiles can be opened from Email Log items.

15/08/2023 - Major improvements and bugfixes

The 'Built-in evaluation SMTP' was deactivated from August 2023 onwards.

In case you were actively using this connection, please create a custom Outgoing Mail Connection as soon as possible, otherwise your emails won't be sent.

Already failed emails may be found in the error queue and can be re-sent after fixing the configuration.

What's new
