Structure on the Atlassian Marketplace
1. Version Highlight
- Compatibility with JIRA 7
2. Changes in Detail
2.1. Compatibility with JIRA 7
With version 7.0, Atlassian introduced a number of changes to the JIRA platform and split JIRA into three products – JIRA Software, JIRA Core and JIRA Service Desk. Starting with version 2.11, Structure supports the new JIRA version and all three products.
Due to platform incompatibilities, Structure now comes in two versions – one for JIRA 6 and one for JIRA 7.
2.2. Other Improvements and Fixes
There are some bug fixes and improvements in Structure 2.11, including:
Option to copy Project and Issue Type from a selected issue when creating a new issue in a dialog
Fixed: Color of text in Epic link changes to blue on clicking on it
Fixed: Structure is displayed as unlicensed with the new UPM plugin
Fixed: No error is shown when a user tries to share a view they cannot share
Our public JIRA contains the full list of issues resolved in Structure 2.11.

Please note that View Settings (associated and default views, global and per structure) are migrated to a new format when you upgrade to Structure 2.9. If you downgrade to Structure 2.8, you will lose changes made to the view settings while working in Structure 2.9 or later.
Also, the Filter and Agile synchronizers might break when downgrading, please double-check. Use Backup and Restore or re-create the synchronizers.
