Dec 8, 2021

Today’s deployment addresses some issues found with the new data loader:

  • We now catch all of the historical workflow changes regardless of how many changes have been made to the work item (AFJ-930)

  • If you use the “only items resolved after” option during data set creation, your data will now include items that are in progress and not started. The date limitation will only apply to resolved items. (AFJ-919)

Nov 22, 2021

  • Dashboard Gadget: This changes to searching from named statuses (To Do, Done etc) to the numerical ones (10001, 10002, 10100) in order to support Team managed projects. This workaround is necessary due to a long-standing Jira bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76118. When configuring the gadget you’ll still see status names. However if you click on the icon to pull up the issue filter, the JQL statement will have status IDs and not names.

  • Dashboard Gadget: Fixed issue with board id’s not being pulled properly when selecting a board.

Oct 5, 2021

ActionableAgile:

  • Resolved a bug in which uploading a CSV without a non-date column after the workflow stages resulted in a fatal error.

Cycle Time Summary Dashboard Gadget:

  • You can now control when we start the Cycle Time clock for work items by setting Not Started statuses in the gadget configuration.

  • When you download the CSV from gadget, it is now formatted so that it can be imported into ActionableAgile

  • When you open up the filter from the gadget to look at the issues in the Issue Navigator the date range in the JQL query is now relative. This allows you to use it going forward and even import the filter into ActionableAgile.

  • We resolved some corner case issues in which start and/or finish dates were being improperly calculated (for the gadget only)

Sep 21, 2021

  • Fixed a bug in the Cycle Time Dashboard gadget where items that moved started and finished in the same day weren’t being properly calculated.

  • Added the ability to download a CSV of the start and end date for each item used to calculate the cycle time for the dashboard gadget in order to facilitate better troubleshooting when there are questions about the calculations.

Dec 8, 2021 - 3.10.4

The following items were addressed in this release:

  • Cumulative Flow Diagram now renders properly when stages are no longer available

  • The links in the menu bar have been updated to point to the new 55 Degrees support site

  • Fixed an issue that blocked your CSV file from being imported if it didn’t have a non-date column after the workflow columns.

Sep 9, 2021 - 3.10.3

This release resolves issues related to the new beta data loader (Load Jira Issues (beta)):

  • In some cases the retrieval of the change history was not returned in the manner that the data loader expected. This cause data to be displayed incorrectly.

  • On systems with more than 50 boards, not all boards were retrieved and so you could not load the missing boards via the new board loader.

The main loading utilities (Load board, Load Project, Load Filter) are not affected by this.

Aug 26, 2021 - 3.10.2

This release resolves an issue where loading ActionableAgile would cause errors to appear in the JavaScript console. These were caused by Jira’s Web resource manager attempting to load resources that were already loaded.

This resolves some ui issues related to the new beta data loader where items were being rendered off-screen in certain conditions.
