Announcement We’re beginning to remove access to Forms data using Jira entity properties

After our announcement in June 2024, we’ve now successfully completed the migration of Forms (previously ProForma) data from Jira entity properties. This will now enable us to build new functionality and increase performance and reliability of Forms.

Starting May 1 2025, we’ll begin removing access to historical Forms data available via Issue properties routes and Project properties routes in order for us to complete post-migration work.

You will still have full access to your Forms data though the Forms REST API.

If you’re currently using Jira Issue entity property smart values to access Forms data in Automation, we will continue to support this however we encourage you to consider moving any Automation to our new Forms smart values.

Announcement Update to the waiver policy for apps requesting or storing Atlassian API tokens

We will not be issuing any new waivers for apps that need to request or store Atlassian user API tokens. This decision is part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing security and protecting customer trust.

Forge Apps that have already been granted waivers must ensure a lack of alternative solutions within Forge. They can continue to operate, but no additional waivers will be granted for new modules or new functionality within the same app.

Connect apps that have been granted waivers and any existing Connect app requesting or storing Atlassian user API tokens are required to migrate to Forge, with tokens stored in Forge encrypted storage.
