Cloud Migration

NEW

• Enhanced Pre-Migration Folder & Field Checks:
  Added automatic validation of required project permissions, empty folder names, and mandatory Create screen fields in advance to prevent migration blockers.

• Updated Authentication Configuration:
  Added new configuration field under DC Admin > Manage Apps > EASE REQUIREMENTS > Configuration for Cloud Email address, alongside the renamed Cloud API token. Authentication now uses a Jira API token instead of the easeRequirements Cloud app token.

• Clearer Diagnostic Warnings:
  Updated titles and error messaging across Folder Issue Type, Folder Creation, and Export Template Size checks to directly guide you toward invalid or missing API auth credentials.

Tree View

NEW Optimized the requirement search endpoint /rest/com.easesolutions.jira.plugins.requirements/2.0/issues/search to reduce the response times and memory consumption. Searching across deep requirement trees is now faster and more reliable.

EASE-23118

Tree View

NEW Added a configurable warning prompt when moving tree items with a large number of child items to prevent accidental data shifts. Thresholds can be customized or disabled in DC Admin > Manage Apps > EASE REQUIREMENTS > Configuration for Number of selected tree items causing alert.

EASE-22291

Tabular View

NEW Improved third-party app JEditor and Rich Text Field (RTF) content rendering by introducing fixed cell heights with vertical scrolling and a "Show more..." dialog for viewing complex images and tables.

EASE-19519, EASE-19474

Reuse

NEW Enhanced copy & paste reuse logic in the tree view to ensure the Priority field will dynamically apply its configured scheme default value when excluded from the "Fields to Copy" configuration.

EASE-22893

XML Export

NEW

• Tree View XML Enrichment:
  Added nested <issueFields> tags to export all active View Screen fields for issues (custom fields, issue links, versions, and attachment names). This excludes time logs, comments, watchers, votes, and empty fields. This still respects active tree filters.

• Baseline Tag Compatibility:
  Standardized baseline XML exports to use <field> instead of <fields> inside the <issueFields> tag to maintain compatibility with custom automation scripts across Jira 9, 10, and 11.

EASE-22274, EASE-1495

Tree View

FIX Fixed a bug where refreshing the tree after external REST API changes caused infinite loading in the detail view and hid the selected item behind a collapsed parent folder.

EASE-21981, EASE-21804, EASE-21983

Tree View

FIX Fixed a bug in the tree view that caused the "Failed to move item(s)" error when dragging and dropping multiple issues into another folder.

EASE-22119

Cloud Migration

FIX Fixed an issue where the app migration from Jira Data Center to Cloud failed to progress.

EASE-22960

Detail View

FIX Fixed a bug in the detail view that prevented comments from loading on issues with anonymous user comments.

EASE-22882

Traceability View

FIX Fixed issue type icon sizing across all views—including Linked Issues tables, Traceability tooltips, Tree views, and Baseline reports—ensuring a consistent 16x16px display and preventing CSS conflicts with third-party plugins.

EASE-23010

Word Export

FIX Fixed a bug where bulleted and numbered lists in Jira fields rendered as raw text tags (e.g., R4JWikiFieldList_) when exporting to Word documents. Lists are now formatted and displayed correctly in all Word exports.

EASE-17503

ReqIF

NEW

• ReqIF Export:

  • Added the ability to export only mapped issue types for better roundtrip consistency.

  • Updated the <REQ-IF-VERSION> tag in ReqIF export to "1.0" to comply with official ReqIF standard specifications.

• Unmapped Spec Objects:
  Users can now assign a specific issue type to unmapped items during export, or choose "Skip" to recursively exclude them and their child issues.

EASE-23071

General

FIX Fixed an issue where the Ultimate app could automatically disable itself or fail during installation on Jira 10 and Jira 11 instances.
