Jira 9 is here, and Custom Charts works with it

Of course, whenever a new version comes out, the first thing on everyone’s mind is making sure their existing apps are compatible with it. Like, you know, their most valuable reporting tool, Custom Charts for Jira. :wink:

Well, folks, you can give your blood pressure a break. Custom Charts can now be installed in Jira 9.

Let’s dive into some other key benefits of Jira 9:

The automation rules you can create are made up of 3 parts:

Trigger: the automated process starts when a particular event happens, e.g. an issue is created or transitioned.

Conditions: these allow you to set criteria for when the rule applies, so that you can narrow its scope, e.g. your rule could apply only to bugs, or to issues of high priority.

Actions: a task such as editing an issue, sending out a notification, or creating a sub-task, which happens automatically after the trigger occurs and the conditions are met.

Example automation rule: when an issue is created (trigger) with its priority set to Highest (condition), a notification is sent to a team or team member (action).

Faster-loading Jira dashboards

This is one we’re particularly excited about here at Old Street, given how we’re superfans of the Jira dashboard.

With Jira 9, Atlassian have introduced lazy loading on a number of inline gadgets. Instead of every gadget loading by default, only the ones you’re looking at in the viewport will load. This will make dashboards load much faster.

Faster-loading Jira:

Other improvements make Jira issues load faster in Jira 9. Lazy loading has been added to attachment thumbnails in the issue view, and the way items in the Comments, History, Work Logs, and All tabs are displayed and organized has been optimized.

Issue transitions and statuses are now in the same menu:

Before Jira 9, the transitions available from the issue’s current status appeared as buttons on the issue, the rest in the Workflow dropdown menu. The current status was displayed in the issue details section.
