March 3, 2023

Bug fixes:

• In some situations, the data loader was having issues merging multiple statuses with the same name. This has been resolved.

• We fixed some spacing issues in the new “Find a Data Set” screen and have renamed the dialog to “Find or Manage a Data Set.” Soon the dropdown option will be updated to match.

Improvement:

• When you choose to create a data set from a board, and you’re searching for a board, we were looking for the board name with Atlassian’s standard keyword search. However, this caused issues when users have a dash in the name. This acted to exclude text after the dash. We have changed the search type to a string search to avoid this situation and make it easier to find boards.

• In the “Find a Data Set” screen, we now display avatars of the data creator. This is another change in preparation of future data set sharing features¨.

February 28, 2023

Dark mode is back! 🌗 🎉 You can choose the option once again via the cogwheel dropdown.

Data Sets dropdown changes to prepare for sharing 🍻

• The legacy loaders have finally retired! 🏖️ We thank them for their service but are happy they're gone.

• Manage Data Sets is now called Find or Manage a Data Set as this is where you will find shared data sets in the future. You will also notice a new layout in this screen to prepare for a much larger list of data sets you’ll need to deal with once sharing is implemented in Cloud

• While we continue to show your 10 favorite data sets directly in the dropdown, you can see the most recent non-favorite in the 'Other' flyout menu.

Other changes

• We have released a fix for a bug linked to tickets being created and directly added in a non-backlog workflow stage which caused ActionableAgile to not calculate the age properly.
