Mostly a technical release
2.6.0 is a major version because we have upgraded a lot of our libraries. There is slightly-higher-than-usual probability of breaking with some versions of Confluence/Jira, although we have tested every major version.
The custom field is available by default in Jira
In Jira, the "Requirement Yogi Links" custom field was only available to non-Data-Center versions by default. It is not available for everyone.
- JQL works!
- Example: RequirementCustomField = 'REQ-002' (the name depends on the name you provided for this field),
- Example: RequirementCustomField in requirementYogiKeys("REQ-%")
- See: JQL Syntax
- If you have already created a custom field, you need to upgrade the "searcher" to be able to use JQL. See screenshot below.
Removed
- We have removed the "display mode" field form the RY Report macro, since it didn't work and no-one noticed it for 2 years.
- In the traceability matrix, it is not possible anymore to display the status of a Jira issue in the same cell. You must add a new column for the "status" field.
