#232 - Question: Any impact to Jira Assistant with changes to Timesheet for Jira?

beamer817 commented on Oct 08, 2022

Atlassian has announced (10/3) a change to their free plug-in (Timesheet for Jira) that will move to a paid, monthly service effective 10/23. I'm not sure whether Jira Assistant is built leveraging any of this tool. Should Jira Assistant users anticipate changes to your services based upon Atlassian's change? Thank you.

Hi @beamer817 - No, Jira Assistant leverages only the Core API's and not any of the API's exposed by plugins. That way, changes in plugins will not have any impact on Jira Assistant. It would continue to work the same way.

Hi @beamer817, I consider your query is answered and hence closing this issue. If there is something more to discuss, please feel free to reopen this issue or start a new thread in discussion forum.

In upcoming version (v2.58) of JA, by default, permission to access Cloud instance of Jira would be added. This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page.
