Feedback issue: Jira DVCS connector removed for Jira Cloud and Jira 8.13 and earlier
Context
As announced in #362168 (closed), starting with GitLab 16.0, we have removed support for the:
- Jira DVCS connector for Jira Cloud
- Jira DVCS connector for Jira Data Center and Jira Server in Jira 8.13 and earlier
What is currently supported
If you’re on Jira Cloud, use the GitLab for Jira Cloud app.
If you're on Jira Data Center or Jira Server:
- Upgrade your Jira instance to Jira 8.14 or later.
- Reconfigure the Jira integration in your GitLab instance.
Workaround for Jira Data Center or Jira Server users on Jira 8.13 and earlier
We strongly encourage you to upgrade your Jira instance as soon as possible. If you cannot upgrade in time and use GitLab self-managed instance, we offer a workaround until GitLab 16.6.
This breaking change is deployed in GitLab 16.0 behind a feature flag named jira_dvcs_end_of_life_amnesty
. The flag is disabled by default, but you can ask an administrator to enable the flag at any time.
The workaround is available for GitLab SaaS users as well, no action required. The workaround will be removed in GitLab 16.6.
To enable the feature flag:
-
Open the Rails console.
-
Enable the feature flag:
Feature.enable(:jira_dvcs_end_of_life_amnesty)
Feedback
Please reach out for any questions or feedback about this removal or the jira_dvcs_end_of_life_amnesty
feature flag.
