Feature Flags

Apis related to integrating Feature Flags with Jira Software. These apis are only available to Atlassian Connect apps. To use these apis you must have the Feature Flag module (see https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/modules/feature-flag/) in your app's descriptor

Submit Feature Flag data

POST /rest/featureflags/0.1/bulk

Update / insert Feature Flag data.

Feature Flags are identified by their ID, and existing Feature Flag data for the same ID will be replaced if it exists and the updateSequenceId of existing data is less than the incoming data.

Submissions are performed asynchronously. Submitted data will eventually be available in Jira; most updates are available within a short period of time, but may take some time during peak load and/or maintenance times. The getFeatureFlagById operation can be used to confirm that data has been stored successfully (if needed).

In the case of multiple Feature Flags being submitted in one request, each is validated individually prior to submission. Details of which Feature Flags failed submission (if any) are available in the response object.

Only Connect apps that define the jiraFeatureFlagInfoProvider module can access this resource. This resource requires the 'WRITE' scope for Connect apps.

Connect app scope requiredWRITE

Request

Header parameters
Authorization Required

string

All requests must be signed with a Connect JWT token that corresponds to the Provider app installed in Jira.

If the JWT token corresponds to an app that does not define Feature Flags module it will be rejected with a 403.

See https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2015/01/understanding-jwt/ for more details.

Pattern: JWT \S+
Body parameters

The payload used to submit (update / insert) Feature Flag data.

properties

Properties

Properties assigned to Feature Flag data that can then be used for delete / query operations.

Examples might be an account or user ID that can then be used to clean up data if an account is removed from the Provider system.

Note that these properties will never be returned with Feature Flag data. They are not intended for use as metadata to associate with a Feature Flag. Internally they are stored as a hash so that personal information etc. is never stored within Jira.

Properties are supplied as key/value pairs, a maximum of 5 properties can be supplied, and keys must not contain ':' or start with '_'.

Max properties: 5
flags Required

Array<FeatureFlagData>

A list of Feature Flags to submit to Jira. Each Feature Flag may be associated with 1 or more Jira issue keys, and will be associated with any properties included in this request.

providerMetadata

ProviderMetadata

Information about the provider. This is useful for auditing, logging, debugging, and other internal uses. It is not considered private information. Hence, it may not contain personally identifiable information.

Delete Feature Flags by Property

DELETE /rest/featureflags/0.1/bulkByProperties

Bulk delete all Feature Flags that match the given request.

One or more query params must be supplied to specify Properties to delete by. Optional param _updateSequenceId is no longer supported. If more than one Property is provided, data will be deleted that matches ALL of the Properties (e.g. treated as an AND). See the documentation for the submitFeatureFlags operation for more details.

e.g. DELETE /bulkByProperties?accountId=account-123&createdBy=user-456

Deletion is performed asynchronously. The getFeatureFlagById operation can be used to confirm that data has been deleted successfully (if needed).

Only Connect apps that define the jiraFeatureFlagInfoProvider module can access this resource. This resource requires the 'DELETE' scope for Connect apps.

This parameter usage is no longer supported.

An optional _updateSequenceId to use to control deletion.

Only stored data with an updateSequenceId less than or equal to that provided will be deleted. This can be used help ensure submit/delete requests are applied correctly if issued close together.

If not provided, all stored data that matches the request will be deleted.
