JirAI: What's new

2026.3.23

• Open a card's work item in the IDE from the board with a double-click, Enter or Open. See Open a card's work item in the IDE.

• When you drag or reorder a card, the board no longer offers positions next to sub-tasks that Jira cannot keep, and a card dragged to another column lands where Jira places it.

• Every person filter and picker lists you first, under Unassigned, and opens on the current value.

• Editing a comment or the description shows Cancel and a highlighted Save on the right.

2026.3.22

• The Breakdown tab has a filter bar (search, status, type, priority, assignee, reporter, unresolved and sort) and Show Hierarchy with Expand All and Collapse All. See Filter the breakdown.

• Copy Issue URL is in every issue menu. The Timeline and details menus also gain Open in Jira and Copy Issue Key.

• Work item types that cannot have child work items open with only the Timeline tab.

2026.3.21

JirAI is free: no licence, trial or subscription is needed to install and use it. See JirAI: Install.

2026.3.20

Edit your comments from the issue Timeline. Text and formatting are editable; mentions, images, tables and anything else the editor cannot show stay as locked pieces and are kept exactly as they are. Restricted and service-desk comments still open in Jira. See Edit a comment.

2026.3.19

• The Summary tab of a space matches Jira's Summary: four tiles (completed, updated and created in the range, and due soon in the next 7 days) and six widgets, each of which can show its table. Hide a widget from its menu and bring it back from Hidden widgets. See Summary tab.

• New space filters: Status, Priority, Parent, Created, Updated and Due date on Summary and Reports; Summary also offers Sprint, Fix version, Component and Label. Throughput, Created vs completed and Work in progress by age are on Reports.

• Drag a card to another column or to a new place in its column. Jira's transition chooser and screens appear as they do from the card menu. See Move a card.

• Create Branch from an issue opens the IDE's New Branch dialog with a name such as PFX-42-fix-login-timeout, then offers to move the issue to In Progress. See Create a branch from an issue and Development settings.

• The status bar shows the issue of your current Git branch, with Open Current Jira Issue. See The current issue in the status bar.

• With changelists on, an empty commit message starts with the current issue's key. Drafts and Git commit templates are never overwritten. See The issue key in commit messages.

2026.3.18

• The Lead time and Cycle time tiles moved off the Summary tab; both are on Reports.

• The agent tools tell your AI assistant to check with JirAI before it creates an issue, and a failed check says what to do next. See When a tool call fails.

2026.3.17

• Push to Jira is available from a right-click on a Markdown file in the Project view. It is not offered under Remote Development. See Open the Push to Jira dialog.

• Deleting an attachment warns you when the attachment is shown inline in a comment.

2026.3.16

• The Board tab of a space shows a company-managed Kanban board, or the active sprint of a Scrum board, with columns, cards, WIP limits, quick filters and an Assignee filter.

  JirAI remembers the board you picked for each space.

• Move a card to another column, or up and down within its column, from the card menu: the More button, a right-click or Shift+Enter.

  When Jira needs fields for the transition, its transition screen opens.

• The board works from the keyboard: Tab moves between columns and the arrow keys move between cards.

  A screen reader announces each card and column.

See Board.

2026.3.15

• A house standard tells JirAI what your team expects on an issue beyond Jira's required fields: fields that must be set, headings the description must have and patterns a value must match.

  An AI assistant that validates a draft is told when the draft misses one of these rules.

  See Agent tools and house standard.

• A one-time notification points you to the IDE's MCP server setting when the server is off, so that the JirAI agent tools become visible to your assistant.

• Open ↗ beside the Parent field opens the parent work item, and the Breakdown tab links to the parent.

• Add child flags issue types that cannot sit under the parent, picks the type when only one fits and tells you when you cannot create in the parent's project.

• Fixes for the Breakdown list and the List tab of a space: the list keeps its position and selection when you fold, edit or refresh.

2026.3.14

• The Breakdown section in the issue details and the Breakdown tab beside the issue timeline list an issue's child work items, with Add child.

  See Timeline and breakdown.

• The List tab of a space shows work items under their parent as a foldable tree, with Show Hierarchy, Expand All and Collapse All.

• Right-click the issue details and choose Hide Fields… to hide several custom fields at once.

• The Type row in the issue details shows the issue type icon.

• The Push to Jira dialog shows its warnings box only when there are warnings.

2026.3.12 and 2026.3.13

• The Project and Issue type pickers on the Create form show project avatars and issue type icons.

• Agent tools: an AI coding assistant connected to the IDE's MCP server can ask JirAI for a Jira project's real create screen and check a drafted issue against it before filing it.

• 2026.3.13 is a maintenance release with no visible changes.

2026.3.11

• Sign in and sign out from Settings | Tools | JirAI, in addition to the tool window.

• The Sprint filter of space reports lists all sprints when a space has several boards.
