Version Highlights
Changes in DetailVersion Name GrouperThe new Version Name... Grouper allows you to group issues with the same version names across multiple projects. You can group issues by the Affects Version, Fix Version or a version custom field (multiple or single). Hide Quick Transformations panelIt is now possible to hide the Quick Transformations panel (as could previously only be done with the Transformations panel), while continuing to use Quick Transformations in your structure. Just click the hide button: When transformations are applied, but the panel is hidden, the Quick Transformations button is colored blue. Mark Manual AdjustmentsThe Mark Manual Adjustments option is now selected by default, whenever manual adjustments are enabled for a structure. Additional Updates
Supported VersionsStructure 5.3 and all extensions support Jira versions 7.6 or later. All editions of Jira (Jira Core, Jira Software, Jira Service Desk) are supported. Jira Data Center is supported. With respect to other add-ons and custom integrations, this release is backwards-compatible with Structure 3.4–5.2. Structure.Testy extension, Colors, Structure.Pages, Structure.Gantt and integrations with third-party apps should continue working normally. Installation and UpgradeInstalling StructureIf your Jira server does not have Structure yet, the installation is simple:
Upgrading StructureIf you're upgrading from version 2.11.2 or earlier, please read Structure 3.0.0 Release Notes. The upgrade procedure from versions 3.x–5.2 is simple:
Enterprise Deployment NotesStructure 5.3 contains several changes to its core components that could be important for large installations and Jira Data Center instances. Core Attribute ChangesThe newly-introduced Version Name item type is special because its core attributes, like summary and icon, depend not on the Version Name item itself, but on the issues below it. In order to support that, we had to change how those attributes are loaded for all item types, not only Version Names. Custom Field Scope ChecksPrevious versions of Structure could show custom field values for fields that are no longer available for the project and type of the issue. Those values could also be used by generators, even though Jira itself wouldn't show or let you edit them. Starting with Structure 5.3, we check the scope of custom fields when generating structures and loading issue attributes. We use the Lucene index when possible to speed up these checks. Testing on Staging EnvironmentGiven the changes described above, if you have large, multi-level structures (10,000 issues or more), we advise that you test their performance on a staging system before upgrading. You can try the following scenarios:
Watch the log files for errors and warnings while running these experiments. The usual load and stress testing can also be performed.
