• Enhancements and features

Enhancements and features

These features for 11.24 were released to environments on the continuous release track on April 24, 2026, in version 11.24.0. The features will be released to environments on the bundled release track on May 8, 2026, in version 11.24.1.

Password security enhancements

To provide the highest level of security for your data, we’ve updated the way we encrypt and store passwords in Jira Align.

We’ve implemented a more robust encryption method for all users who log in manually, including external users of ideation. This change doesn't affect users who log in through Single Sign-On (SSO).

If you haven't logged in since version 11.18.X, your password was stored using our previous security method and you'll need to reset it before your next login.

To reset your password:

1. Go to the Jira Align login page.
2. Select Forgot password.
3. Follow the instructions sent to your email to create a new password.

Star your saved views

You can now star individual saved views on the new epics grid, beta features grid, and roadmaps, giving you quick access to your most-used configurations directly from the navigation bar.

Previously, starring one of these pages bookmarked the page in its default state. Now, each saved view can be starred independently so you can pin specific filter and column configurations, and navigate to them directly.

To star a saved view:

1. Open any supported grid page and select a saved view from the Views menu.
2. Select the star icon (☆) next to the view name.

Notes:

• Stars are per-user and do not affect other users.
• If a starred view is deleted, it is automatically removed from your starred pages list.
• Existing page-level stars are not affected.

Grid pages: date-based filtering

Date fields on the new epics grid and the beta features grid now support new operators for date-based filtering. Use these new filtering options to find work needed before, after, or during important periods for your organization.

• Supported fields: Create date, Start/Initiation, Target completion
• Operators: Before, After, Range, No value

Grid pages: support for lengthy column values

We have revised how columns that allow lengthy names, such as programs, program increments, and tags, behave. In the past, resizing these columns still imposed a 180-character cap on the displayed field names. With this update, you can now resize a column to accommodate the entire length of its value.

Epics grid: on-premise availability, progress display options, and custom room support

We’ve made the following enhancements to the new epics grid page:

• On-premise availability: The new grid is now the default experience for on-premise environment in version 11.24.X. Note that some current and upcoming enhancements to the page are still controlled by separate feature enablement gates.
• Count or story point progress: The Progress column now respects portfolio-specific configurations. You can display progress by count or story points based on the portfolio setting, Progress bar status.
• New columns: We've added column support for MVP and Milestones.
• New filter: Use the Blocked filter to identify stalled or impacted work.
• Custom rooms support: The epics page is now available in custom rooms. Currently this is only for cloud environments. 

Features grid beta: new columns and advanced filters

We’ve enhanced the beta features grid page with additional columns and more powerful filtering options to improve how you manage your features.

• New columns: You can now add columns for External ID, Health (status), Portfolio ask, and Competition (business driver).
• New filter: Use the Portfolio ask filter to identify features with a specific ask date.
• New filter operators: Use the following operators when filtering to identify specific features you care about
  • Not in operator for
    • Target start sprint
    • Target completion sprint
  • No value operator for
    • Release vehicle
    • Target start sprint
    • Target completion sprint
    • Parent

Bug fixes

This list of resolved bugs will be updated weekly to reflect changes from maintenance and bug fix releases.

We’ve corrected the following bugs that were discovered while investigating related issues, building new enhancements, and performing maintenance:

11.24.0

• In the API, epics could be created with improper associations to program hierarchies that support capabilities.
• When importing work items, the help text on screen displayed quotation marks incorrectly.
• On the release vehicles page, filtering by date created with the does not equal operator would display incorrect results.
