Announcement Rollout of Connect EOS admin messaging for apps with 'yes' migration intent

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

As per our previous announcement, admin-facing Connect end-of-support (EOS) migration messaging on the Connected Apps page is now gradually rolling out to production instances for apps that have declared a migration intent of ‘yes’.

Apps affected in this rollout

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "yes"

The following app categories have already been rolled out to receive admin-facing messaging as per our previous changelog:

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "no"

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "unsure"

  • Apps that have not adopted the connectToForgeMigration module

  • Apps without a Forge manifest (i.e., Connect apps)

What you need to do

  1. Adopt the connectToForgeMigration module in your Forge manifest for each major version of your app (https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/adopting-forge-from-connect/connect-to-forge-migration-module/).

  2. Declare your migration intent as this determines which cohort your app falls into and when messaging appears.

  3. Provide a migration URL. This URL will be surfaced directly in customer-facing notices, replacing the default Atlassian messaging with your app-specific guidance.

More details

Exemptions

Apps that are blocked by an accepted Connect EOS FRGE ticket will be exempt from customer messaging until one month past the delivery date of the blocking feature. This exemption list is determined exclusively by partners who have submitted a Connect EOS Submission request on these accepted tickets, providing a valid use case and explanation. If an app utilises an affected feature but has not submitted a Connect EOS submission, it will not be exempted from this messaging.

For the full customer-facing experience (including more information on what admins will see), please visit the documentation here. This page will also be shortly updated to capture our rollout approach.

Added Issues and Projects context are now available in Forge Custom Field on Issue Bulk Edit

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)
Forge - Jira Cloud Platform (excludes Jira REST APIs)

What's changing?

In https://developer.atlassian.com/changelog/#CHANGE-3253, we announced that Forge custom fields (FCF) of type object can now render a rich custom edit experience in Jira's bulk edit. At that time, issue and project details were not available in the extension context during issue-bulk-edit, and we recommended using renderContext === 'issue-bulk-edit' to detect this case and render a fallback UI.

This limitation has now been removed. Issue and project context is now available in your app's extension context during bulk edit. You can use this context to make more informed decisions about the UI or the options you display.

What do I need to do?

  • If you previously added a fallback UI for the issue-bulk-edit render context, you can now update your app to use the available issue and project context instead.

  • Review the updated https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/jira-custom-field/#extension-data:~:text=module%20is%20rendered.-,issues,-issue%5B%5D for details on the context shape.

  • No action is required if your edit experience does not depend on issue or project context.

Early Access Frontend Logging EAP

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Forge Frontend logging is now available in Early Access Program (EAP). This feature is supported for both UI Kit and Custom UI across all environments, including production. It captures console.error, uncaught exceptions, and unhandled promise rejections.

What's changing

  • Direct frontend observability: You can now view platform logs, custom log errors, and exceptions from your app's frontend directly in the Forge Developer Console and CLI.

  • Log export support: Frontend logs are accessible via the Export app logs API and Point to Point Logs Export.

  • No billing during EAP: Frontend logs generated during the EAP period will not be charged.

What you need to do

  • Sign up for the EAP: Submit a request via the EAP form to enable this capability for your apps.

Announcement Forge corrected TTL for offline user impersonation tokens

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What's changing
We fixed an issue where the ttl returned for Forge Remote offline user impersonation tokens could incorrectly report 30 minutes, even though the token remained valid for up to four hours.

The returned ttl now accurately reflects the token’s remaining validity. This change only affects the reported value and does not alter the actual token lifetime.

What you need to do
If your app uses a fixed 30-minute token-refresh workaround, update it to use the returned ttl value from the offlineUserAuthToken mutation. This allows your app to cache it longer and refreshes tokens less often than previously.

Deprecation Notice Removing support for anonymous users in Forge Feature Flags Client SDK

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What is changing?

We are removing support for anonymous (unauthenticated) users from the Forge Feature Flags Client SDK (FeatureFlags in @forge/bridge). Starting December 1, 2026, the Client SDK will no longer evaluate feature flags when no authenticated user is present.

Currently, the Client SDK can be initialized even without a logged-in user (i.e., when no accountId is available). After this change, FeatureFlags.initialize() will only function for authenticated users with a valid Atlassian account. If your app calls initialize() without an accountId in the user's identifiers, the SDK will not return evaluated flag values and will fallback to default values.

Who is affected?

You are affected if your Forge app meets both of these conditions:

  1. Uses the Feature Flags Client SDK (FeatureFlags from @forge/bridge)

  2. Allows anonymous access (e.g., your app module has unlicensedAccess enabled and you serve users who are not logged in)

If your app only serves logged-in users, no action is needed.

What should you do?

Option A — Use a default value for anonymous users

Before calling initialize(), check whether an accountId is available. If not, skip initialization and use a hardcoded default for your feature flag logic:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 const { accountId } = await view.getContext(); if (accountId) { const featureFlags = new FeatureFlags(); await featureFlags.initialize(user, config); const enabled = featureFlags.checkFlag("my-flag", false); } else { // Anonymous user — use default behaviour const enabled = false; }

Option B — Move flag logic to the server-side SDK

If you need to control behaviour for anonymous users, use the https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/feature-flags/feature-flags-sdk/ in a resolver. The server SDK supports targeting by installContext (site-level), which does not require a user identity.

Timeline

Deprecation notice issued

Sep 2, 2026

End of support (breaking change)

Dec 1, 2026

The deprecation period is 90 days. During this time, the existing behaviour will continue to work, but you will see deprecation warnings in the developer console.

Announcement Updated invocation limits

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

We’re updating the invocation rate limits for Forge apps to support larger-scale apps and platform stability.

What’s changing

The invocation rate limits for user-led invocations (UI and web triggers) are being updated to the following values:

  • Per app installation: The limit is changing from 5,000 requests per minute (RPM) to 300 requests per second (RPS) or 7,000 RPM (whichever is hit first).

  • Per environment: The previous global limit of 30,000 RPM is being removed to provide more flexibility for apps with large numbers of installations.

  • Per user: The limit remains unchanged at 1,200 RPM.

What you need to do

If your app frequently performs high-burst activities, you may need to implement retry logic or optimize your function calls to stay within the 300 RPS threshold.

Retry logic can be implemented using:

  • The rateLimitProperties field returned from Forge bridge invoke

  • Web trigger rate limiting response headers

For implementation examples and more details, see the Forge invocation limits documentation.

  • Bamboo 13

  • Bitbucket 11

  • Crowd 13

Added Bulk fetch issues now supports up to 1000 issues per request

REST API - Jira Cloud Platform
REST API - Jira Software Cloud

The Bulk fetch issues API (POST /rest/api/3/issue/bulkfetch) now supports a maximum of 1000 issues in a single request, up from the previous limit of 100. This higher limit is available for requests optimized for efficient processing. https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-Cloud-Admins-articles/1-000-Issues-One-Call-Bulk-Fetch-Gets-a-10-Boost/ba-p/3281867

What's changing
To qualify for the 1000-issue limit, your request must meet the following criteria:

  • Explicit field selection: You must explicitly name at least one field to include. Wildcards like *all or *navigable, and requests containing only exclusions (e.g., -description), are not eligible.

  • Field count: No more than 100 fields can be explicitly included.

  • Single-value fields only: Included fields must not return multiple values (e.g., comment, worklog, or attachment are excluded).

  • Restricted expands: The expand parameter must not include changelog, editmeta, operations, renderedFields, transitions, or versionedRepresentations.

What you need to do
No action is required if you wish to continue using the existing 100-issue limit. To take advantage of the 1000-issue capacity:

  • Update your request payload to explicitly list the specific fields you need.

  • Remove any multi-value fields or restricted expand parameters.

  • Increase your batch size up to 1000 issueIdsOrKeys.

If you require multi-valued data or changelogs for a large set of issues, we recommend splitting the work: use one 1000-issue call for "cheap" fields and separate, narrower calls for complex data. For changelogs, use the Bulk fetch changelogs endpoint to avoid the 40-item cap imposed by expand=changelog.

For more details, see the Bulk fetch issues reference documentation.

Added New raise issue on support site API

REST API - Customer Service Management

We’ve added a new API to allow callers to raise an existing issue on a CSM support site.

More details

API callers can now share an existing issue to a support site for customers to see. The Summary and Description of the provided issue are shared with the customer on the support site.

26 August 2026

Announcement Web trigger lifecycle APIs now available for Forge Container Services

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

You can now manage web trigger URLs programmatically from within your Forge Container Services environment. These new REST API endpoints provide parity with the @forge/api package and the Forge CLI, allowing your container-based apps to create, list, and delete web trigger URLs.

What's changing
We’ve added the following HTTP endpoints to the Forge Container Services REST API:

  • POST /forge/webtrigger/url: Create a new web trigger URL or retrieve an existing one.

  • GET /forge/webtrigger/urls: Retrieve all web trigger URLs associated with the app.

  • DELETE /forge/webtrigger/url: Delete a specific web trigger URL.

 

These endpoints enable containerized apps to handle their own web trigger lifecycle dynamically without relying on external CLI commands.

What you need to do
If your container-based app requires dynamic web trigger management, you can start using these endpoints immediately. Refer to the Forge Container Services REST API documentation for detailed request and response schemas.

Announcement Removal of site limit for the Forge Export app logs API

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What's changing
We have removed the limitation on the number of sites for which you can retrieve logs using the Export app logs API. Previously, the API was limited to returning logs for a maximum of 3,500 sites. This restriction has been lifted, allowing you to export logs across all sites where your app is installed and log sharing is enabled.

What you need to do
No action is required to benefit from this change. If you were previously limited by the 3,500-site threshold when polling for logs across your entire install base, you will now receive logs for all eligible sites automatically.

For more information on how to use the API, refer to the Export app logs documentation.

Added Global Statuses are now available in team-managed workflows

REST API - Jira Cloud Platform

The Global Statuses Beta for team-managed spaces is now live. As previously announced, this feature allows global (site-wide) statuses to be added to team-managed workflows.

To try it, enable the feature via Jira Labs. Once enabled:

  • Workflow create and update APIs support global statuses in team-managed workflows.

  • Space templates will create workflows with global statuses by default.

  • Global statuses may appear in workflow read responses for team-managed spaces.
