To set the page status, you need to start editing the page. Pick the status at the top of the page by selecting Add status from under the page breadcrumbs while in edit mode.
Hey everyone,
I have to admit, JQL always seemed like some mystical thing meant for the super technical crowd. I never felt completely comfortable with it, even though I knew how powerful it could be 😅.
So, What is Custom JQL?
For those of you like me, let me explain: Custom JQL lets you query Jira issues using data from other apps. It’s super powerful. Sure, you can use the fields already in a Jira ticket, but what if you want to find issues based on data that’s linked to those tickets from other apps? That’s where Custom JQL comes in. You can get really specific with your searches! If you’re curious and want to dive deeper, check out Atlassian's docs.

Hi all! We're excited to announce a new capability for customers using Bitbucket Pipelines for their CI/CD, with the release of our 3rd Party Secret Providers plugin capability.
Whilst Pipelines offers comprehensive functionality around managing Variables & Secrets in the product, many customers have asked for a way to take advantage of their existing dedicated secret management services when working with Pipelines. This capability will enable customers to integrate Pipelines to dedicated secret management solutions such as Hashicorp Vault, or any other secret provider tool customers are using. This capability is provided as a generic interface combined with a plugin system that allows plugins to be built for any 3rd party provider.

Building on this, we’re adding new dashboards to help you quickly get answers to essential questions about how work is being completed across your team.

Bubble Chart
Heat Map
