Structure 2.3 adds support for JIRA 6 and includes a number of fixes.
Download the Latest Version
Structure on the Atlassian Marketplace
1. JIRA 6 Support
JIRA 6 is a major new upgrade from Atlassian, with overhaul of the user interface and many other improvements. Structure plugin has been modified to fit nicely into the new JIRA package.
Most of the updates for JIRA 6 were adapting Structure user interface to the new look, but we also migrated Structure to the new JIRA platform to support such features as the ability to change login name.
2. Other Changes
2.1. Fixes
- Fixed: HJ-1169 Make Structure panel show for issue of type "Test", added by Zephyr
- Fixed: HJ-1232 Use the same link to Log Work action as on the standard Time Tracking section on the issue page (even if it is replaced by Tempo)
- Fixed: HJ-1242 Status Rollup synchronizer fails to find a global transition
- Fixed: HJ-1265 Link synchronizer may erroneously move an issue to the top
- Fixed: HJ-1308 Printable page loses view configuration when view is locally modified
2.2. Anonymous Usage Statistics
We have introduced optional reporting of the usage statistics, which should help us better understand how Structure is used and focus on the important improvements. The statistics reporting is turned off by default, and Structure plugin may once suggest to a JIRA administrator to turn it on.

3. Supported JIRA Versions
Structure 2.3 supports JIRA versions 5.0 — 6.0+. There are two separate downloads: one for JIRA 5.x, another for JIRA 6.x.
4. Installation
The plugin may be installed from the Atlassian Marketplace or from the Administration | Add-ons menu. Further information is available in the Administrator's Guide.
5. Upgrading from a Previous Version
If you upgrade from version 1.7.1 or earlier, please read the upgrade section in Structure 2.0 Release Notes. If you're using GreenHopper 6.1 and the new epics functionality, and upgrading from version 2.0 or earlier, please read Structure 2.1 Release Notes.
If you have LDAP user directory with login names containing uppercase characters, the upgrade will involve Structure database migration. Structure backup is highly recommended!
Upgrade procedure is simple:
- Create backup of Structure data. Use Administration | Structure | Structure Backup. See Backing Up Structure for details.
- Install the new version of the plugin.
Note for early adopters: if you have a pre-release version of Structure 2.3 installed, you need to uninstall it first, and only then install the released version. All structure data will be kept.
