Atlassian developer changelog

This page contains announcements and updates for developers from various products, platforms, and programs across Atlassian. It includes filter controls to make it easier to only see updates relevant to you.

To ensure you don’t miss any updates, we also provide RSS feeds. These feeds will take on any filters you applied to the page, and are a standardized way of keeping up-to-date with Atlassian changes for developers. For example, in Slack with the RSS app installed, you can type /feed <FEED URL> in any channel, and RSS updates will appear in that channel as they are posted.

Announcement New Public APIs to retrieve list of accessible workspaces for a user

REST API - Bitbucket Cloud

As previously mentioned in CHANGE-2770, support for several cross-workspace APIs has ended.

We are announcing the availability of two new public REST APIs that return information about the accessible workspaces for a user:

These new endpoints can be used alongside existing single-workspace scoped APIs to serve as replacements for the deprecated APIs.

More details

Below is a table summarizing the deprecated APIs and the corresponding alternative APIs that we suggest transitioning to.

        

Deprecated API description

Deprecated endpoint and link

Suggested alternative APIs

1

Returns a paginated list of all public repositories.

GET /2.0/repositories
The Bitbucket Cloud Rest API

  • GET /2.0/repositories/{workspace}

  • Can be used with GET /2.0/user/workspaces to first get accessible workspaces

2

Returns an object for each repository the caller has explicit access to and their effective permission.

GET /2.0/user/permissions/repositories
The Bitbucket Cloud Rest API

  • GET /2.0/workspaces/{workspace}/permissions/repositories

  • Can be used with GET /2.0/user/workspaces to first get accessible workspaces

3

Returns all snippets.

GET /2.0/snippets
The Bitbucket Cloud Rest API

  • GET /2.0/snippets/{workspace}

  • https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-snippets/?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=EML-21718#api-snippets-workspace-get

  • Can be used with GET /2.0/user/workspaces to first get accessible workspaces

4

Returns an object for each workspace the caller is a member of, and their effective role.

GET /2.0/user/permissions/workspaces
The Bitbucket Cloud Rest API

  • GET /2.0/user/workspaces

  • GET /2.0/user/workspaces/{workspace}/permission

5

Returns a list of workspaces accessible by the authenticated user.

GET /2.0/workspaces
The Bitbucket Cloud Rest API

  • GET /2.0/user/workspaces

For the first three deprecated APIs, if you already have a single workspace, simply transition to the workspace-scoped alternative by including the workspace slug or UUID in the request path.

However, if you do not already have a single workspace, we suggest using the workspace‑scoped APIs in combination with the new /2.0/user/workspaces API.

  1. Use the /2.0/user/workspaces to get all accessible workspaces for the user

  2. Request to workspace‑scoped alternative endpoint (example: /2.0/repositories/{workspace})

    1. Option 1: select one accessible workspace to use in a request to the scoped endpoint (1 request)

    2. Option 2: make a request for each accessible workspace and aggregate the results (N requests)

Announcement Update: Correction to hostEntitlementNumber and hostLicenseId Mapping in Reporting APIs

Marketplace Platform

We identified an issue in the Transactions and Licenses APIs where the hostEntitlementNumber and hostLicenseId fields were incorrectly mapped to Customer Service Management (CSM) (part of Service Collection SKU) instead of the underlying Atlassian Apps (Jira or Jira Service Management).

This issue affected approximately 8K entitlements across partners and has now been fixed as of Jan 15, 2026.

  • hostEntitlementNumber and correspondly hostLicenseId will no longer map to Customer Service Management.

  • The app entitlements now map to the corresponding Jira products:

    • Jira Service Management (JSM), or

    • Jira.

  • No entitlements were removed; only the host entitlement has been updated.

How to find the affected records

Partners can use the lastUpdated field to identify updated licenses and transactions via:

Announcement Update: Pagination behavior for Data Center promotion codes in Get promotions paged API

Marketplace Platform

We’ve updated how Data Center promotion are paginated in the Get promotions paged API so they behave consistently with Cloud promotion.

What changed

Previously, partners used the limit , totalItems and offset fields to navigate Data Center and Server promotion via: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/rest/v1/api-group-promotions/#api-group-promotions

As part of the ongoing DC promotion migration( https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/changelog/#CHANGE-2986):

  • Data Center promotion codes

    • Now use cursor-based pagination via the nextId and prevId fields returned by the API response.

    • This is aligned with how Cloud promotions are already paginated.

    • Partners are requested to use the nextId and prevId values to navigate forward and backward through pages of Data Center promotion codes.

  • Server promotion codes

    • No change. Server promotion continue to use limit, totalItems and offset for pagination.

    • You can keep using your existing integration for Server-only use cases.

For full API details, see the Promotions API docs below, while Changes to Developer documents will be updated by Jan 23, 2026

Removed Removal of changes to invocation rate limits

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

We announced in a previous changelog that we would be changing the Forge user invocation rate limits from 1,200 requests per minute (RPM) to 20 requests per second (RPS). In response to customer feedback, we’ve decided not to implement this change. Invocation rate limits will continue to be 1,200 per one-minute fixed window.

These invocation rate limits are applied specifically by the Forge platform, and unrelated to the upcoming Jira/Confluence point-based rate limits. For more information, see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/limits-invocation/.

Deprecation Notice Invite user to org v1 API deprecated

REST API - Cloud Admin

We recently released a new Invite users to an organization API, which is available to all customers, as long as you have at least one paid subscription in your organization.

The new API (v2) supersedes the previous Invite user to org API (v1), which will stop working after June 30, 2026. The v1 API is only available to customers with the centralized user management experience.

We recommend you update your workflows to the new API as soon as possible to avoid any disruption.

Added New API: Invite users to an organization

REST API - Cloud Admin

We’re introducing a new API to invite users to an organization: Invite users to an organization.

This API supersedes the previous Invite user to org API, which was only available to customers with the centralized user management experience.

The new API is available to all customers, as long as you have at least one paid subscription in your organization. This API also lets you add users to groups in an invitation, which wasn’t supported in the previous API.

Fixed JQL EMPTY and != operators now evaluate consistently in Match API and webhooks

Forge - Jira Cloud Platform (excludes Jira REST APIs)
Forge - JSM Cloud (excludes JSM REST APIs)
Forge - Jira Software Cloud (excludes JSW REST APIs)
REST API - Jira Cloud Platform
REST API - JSM Cloud
REST API - Jira Software Cloud

This fix will be rolled out on Jan 28, 2026 across all Jira Cloud instances.

We fixed bugs that caused the Issues Match REST API and webhooks to evaluate JQL queries differently than the standard Issue Navigator. JQL expressions using EMPTY or != with issue properties or the "Epic Label" field now return consistent results across all Jira Cloud features.

This fix is not backward-compatible. Integrations that relied on the previous behavior may see different results from the Match API or different events triggering webhooks.

Related tickets: JRACLOUD-96922, JRACLOUD-97120

More details

EMPTY operators for issue properties and Epic Label

JQL expression

Previous behavior (Match API/webhooks)

New behavior

field = EMPTY

Did not match issues where the field was unset

Matches issues where the field is unset

field IS EMPTY

Matched correctly

No change

field IN (EMPTY)

Did not match issues where the field was unset

Matches issues where the field is unset

field != EMPTY

Matched all issues, including those where the field was unset

Only matches issues where the field is set

field IS NOT EMPTY

Matched correctly

No change

field NOT IN (EMPTY)

Matched all issues, including those where the field was unset

Only matches issues where the field is set

This applies to both issue properties (for example, issue.property[key].path) and the "Epic Label" field.

!= comparisons for issue properties

JQL expression

Previous behavior

New behavior

issue.property[key].path != "a"

Returned issues where the property was never set

Only matches issues where the property exists and its value is not "a"

Impact

You may see differences in:

  • The issues returned by POST /rest/api/3/match when using JQL with EMPTY or != on issue properties or "Epic Label"

  • The events that trigger webhooks using JQL filters with these operators and fields

Developer guidance

Review any JQL used in webhook filters or Match API requests that contains:

  • EMPTY operators with issue properties or "Epic Label"

  • != comparisons with issue properties

Best practices:

Goal

Recommended JQL

Check if a field is set

field IS NOT EMPTY

Check if a field is not set

field IS EMPTY

Specific scenarios:

To find issues where a property is either not set OR has a different value:

1 issue.property[key].path != "a" OR issue.property[key].path IS EMPTY

To find issues where a property is set AND has a different value:

1 issue.property[key].path != "a" AND issue.property[key].path IS NOT EMPTY

Test critical webhook flows and integrations that use the Match API to confirm they behave as expected.
