Release Notes | August 17th, 2026

Key Takeaways

  • Jira Description Elements: Jira's own description elements, such as Code block, Panel, Decision and Action item, are now supported when a description syncs from Jira to Craft.io and back


Jira Description Elements

A Jira description holds elements that most editors have no equivalent for. A Code block keeps code as code, with a language, line numbers and wrapping. A Panel puts a colored box around something that needs to stand out, in an info, note, success, warning or error variant. A Decision records what the team settled on, and an Action item is a checkbox in the description itself. An Expand keeps a section folded behind a title until someone opens it. Date and Mention round out the set, and Jira's text formatting adds Subscript and Superscript.

With this update, all of them are supported when a description syncs from Jira to Craft.io and back. A developer's Java code block arrives in Craft.io as a code block, and returns to Jira with its language and line numbers intact, whatever else changed in the description around it.

No setup needed. Existing Jira connections pick this up automatically. To see it, open a Jira-synced item in Craft.io, edit its description, and check the ticket in Jira.
