We’ve removed the
“Visible in Global Library”
option. This was originally a workaround due to technical restrictions that prevented us from filtering Issue Templates based on project permissions.
Previously, users could see templates from projects they didn’t have access to - but without seeing project names, issue details, or being able to apply/edit them. While functional, it wasn’t ideal. The workaround allowed templates to be hidden from the global view and only visible when filtering by project.
With these restrictions now resolved, users will only see templates for projects they have access to - no more workarounds needed! 🎯
This change simplifies the experience and ensures better security and clarity in template management.
Templating.app now fully supports the updated Jira navigation design. This ensures a smooth and consistent experience as Jira rolls out its new layout.
No action is needed on your side - everything will continue to work as expected. 🎯
