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.

Deprecation Notice Forge Invocation Tokens (FIT) 'app.version' field

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

The app.version property in FIT contains a string used by some internal Atlassian services. As such, it does not accurately represent the actual app version. To refer to the correct Forge app version, use the new app.appVersion property instead.

The app.version property will be removed on Sep 25, 2025.

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

In the latest version of @forge/react, we're adding a new disableSubmitOnBlur property to the UI Kit Jira component, CustomFieldEdit. The property can be used to disable the submission of the field value on blur events.

For more information on this component, see the component documentation.

More details

To update your UI kit app to the latest version, run the following command in your project directory:

npm install --save @forge/react@latest

Added New APIs for fetching children/descendants

REST API - Confluence Cloud

We’ve added V2 API endpoints to retrieve children and descendants for pages, databases, smart links, whiteboards and folders.

To enable these new V2 APIs, you’ll need to use the new Oauth 2.0 scope read:hierarchical-content:confluence.

These new APIs correspond to the following V1 APIs, which have been marked as deprecated (and will be retired on Apr 30, 2025):

More details

Here are the new V2 endpoints:

/pages/{id}/direct-children
/pages/{id}/descendants
/databases/{id}/direct-children
/databases/{id}/descendants
/embeds/{id}/direct-children
/embeds/{id}/descendants

/whiteboards/{id}/direct-children
/whiteboards/{id}/descendants
/folders/{id}/direct-children
/folders/{id}/descendants

Deprecation Notice Changes to support for uploading marketing assets through app artifact

Marketplace Platform

From Apr 30, 2025, uploading visual marketing assets through app artifacts (.jar, .obr, or .jwb) will no longer be supported. Instead, partners now have the option to use either the UI or the APIs to upload their branding assets, both of which are already available.

You can continue to upload your software using the existing option or the API. However, to upload marketing assets, you must use the publish experience or the API and upload the assets during that process, rather than using the app artifact upload option.

This change is part of the broader Marketplace Technical Foundations initiative.

For any comments or questions, please submit a support request.

More details

After the deprecation period on Apr 30, 2025, you will not be able to use the following options to upload your marketing assets:

UI:

APIs:

To upload your assets, follow these options:

Using UI

  • App logo: Navigate to the About app section, and select Upload logo.

  • Page design assets: Navigate to the Page Design section, select the desired page design type, and click the Add Another Image button to upload your assets.

Announcement Update on Solution Partner Type in Transactions and Billing Contact Emails in License Reporting

Marketplace Platform

We have identified an issue with the display of Solution partner type & solution partner billing contact emails in our reports.

Previously, partner type field, partnerDetails.partnerType displayed ‘Unknown’ for 26,000 transactions in transactions API across Marketplace partners.

Announcement Resolution of Sandbox License Issue on the New Billing System

Marketplace Platform

We have identified an issue with the display of license status and licenseType for Sandbox licenses migrated to the new billing system. Post-migration, these licenses incorrectly displayed status as Cancelled and licenseType as Commercial on the licenses API and Marketplace reporting user interface.

This issue is now fixed and the migrated sandbox licenses correctly display active status and FREE licenseType for ~ 10k license lines across all Marketplace partners. The updated records for Sandbox licenses can be identified using the following fields and values in the Get licenses API:

  • installedOnSandbox - Is Sandbox

  • status - Active

  • licenseType - FREE

Marketplace Partners can access updated license records using the lastUpdated field.
