10.2.0 Improvements

Smart Fields is now Advanced Formula Fields – a clearer name for powerful, scalable Jira calculations.

Improvements

• App renamed to Advanced Formula Fields
  Smart Fields for Jira is now called Advanced Formula Fields. The new name reflects what the app is built for: modeling advanced calculations directly in Jira — from ready-to-use templates to powerful expressions, reliable recalculation, and full execution transparency.

• Template configuration progress bar behaves more predictably
  Adjusted the progress bar in the template configuration so it now advances only to the current step point instead of slightly ahead. This makes it much clearer where you are in the process, especially on the last step, and aligns better with Atlassian’s standard component behavior.

10.1.0 features Improvements

Smart Fields goes to space(s) – and empowers space admins

Features

• Single Smart Fields entry in the Jira Apps sidebar
  Smart Fields now appears as a single, dedicated entry in the Jira Apps section and in project/space contexts. Opening it shows the app’s own navigation instead of multiple scattered sidebar items.

• Space-aware experience
  When opened in a space, Smart Fields automatically focuses on that space, so space admins can work on the fields that matter for their projects.

• Space admin access (configurable by Jira admins)
  Jira admins can now allow space admins to use Smart Fields in their spaces while still keeping sensitive, global capabilities restricted to Jira admins.

• New Settings page for admins
  A new in‑app Settings page lets admins control whether project admins are allowed to use Smart Fields in spaces.

  • The option “Allow project administrators to use Smart Fields in spaces” is available and enabled by default.

  • Only Jira admins can change this setting.

• Permission‑aware navigation & views
  We introduced a new permission layer (“power of space admins”) so that:

  • Non-admins see only a limited subset of sections and cannot change configurations.

  • Project/space admins can see a tailored Field overview for their space (when allowed by the global setting).

  • Jira admins keep full access, including Execution log and Settings.

  • The sidebar items (Field overview, Execution log, Settings) are only rendered once the user’s permissions are known, so non‑authorized users never see options they cannot use.

• Field overview redesigned for space admins
  The Field overview table now has a permission‑aware layout:

  • For admins, the table keeps the full view.

  • For project/space admins, a new compact layout focuses on what they need most: field type, name, recalculation, last executions, last updated, last updated by, and the related work item.

In-app changelog page

• The brand new “What’s new?” page inside Smart Fields shows the latest changes directly in the app, powered by markdown rendering.

• Users can quickly see what changed without leaving Jira, which is especially helpful in spaces where project admins are discovering Smart Fields for the first time.

Improvements

Modernized navigation & app discovery

• Smart Fields now uses a clean, internal navigation instead of multiple sidebar entries.

• The app is easier to discover for non-admin users: there is a single entry point in the Apps section and in space contexts.

Updated look & feel and overview UX
Colors have been updated to match Atlassian’s latest design language, including messages and status indicators.

• The Field overview page has been decluttered and restructured to surface key information more clearly.

• The pagination at the bottom of the table now has proper spacing, improving readability and overall polish.

Expression editor & handbook quality

• Falsy values in the wizard preview are now displayed more consistently (e.g. "", null, and expression-based values).

• The Expression Parser Handbook internals have been refactored and fully typed to work smoothly with ESLint and future enhancements.

• Parser functions in the expression editor handbook can now be correctly added and displayed as favorites.

Template behavior & work item view consistency

• ICE score template parameters are now correctly applied to the underlying expression, ensuring the field behaves as configured.

• When you change a template configuration from a numeric to a non‑numeric field, the work item view is now properly updated (e.g. showing “None” when the configuration becomes invalid).

New templates for sub-tasks

• Added two new number templates for sub‑tasks, making it easier to model common sub‑task calculation scenarios without writing expressions from scratch.

• Available right from the template selection when creating smart number fields, using a dedicated sub‑task icon.

Bug fixes

Navigation & UI stability

• Fixed an issue where the execution log search and pagination could still be clicked while data was being refreshed.

• Resolved a bug where newly created fields could appear twice in the table after switching tabs; the table now behaves predictably without unnecessary remounts.

• Added missing spacing under the field table pagination to avoid a cramped appearance.

Wizard

• Updated parser examples to use the term “work item” instead of “issue” for a more consistent language.

• Fixed inconsistent display of falsy values in the wizard’s preview.

• Corrected template parameter handling for ICE score and sub‑task aggregations so expressions and resulting values are always in sync with the configured fields.

Expression editor favorites

• Fixed a bug where parser functions could not be starred as favorites or would not appear in the favorites section, even though the star icon was clicked.

10.0.0 features Improvements

Global recalculation of smart field values and duration format for smart number fields

Features

• Global recalculation - You can now recalculate smart field values for multiple work items at once. Use a JQL query or filter to define the scope, preview the number of matching work items, and run the recalculation from the field overview page.

• Progress indicator - While recalculation runs, the field overview shows a progress spinner with live updates, including processed work items and current processing rate. You can cancel an active recalculation anytime.

• Duration number format - Smart number fields can now display as durations using the new duration formatting option. This converts numeric values into readable time spans (for example, 90 minutes → 1h 30m).

Improvements

• Navigate quickly to Smart Fields using the Jira command palette with “CMD+K” or “CTRL+K”

• Direct link from execution log errors to the underlying field configuration

• Onboarding tour after creating the first smart field

• UI improvements

Bug fixes

• Jira expressions returning 0 were displaying “None” in the preview area
