Flagged tickets are now easier to spot! Instead of just a label that says “Impediment,” we've added a bright red flag icon and a yellow background to catch your eye. It's an instant heads-up that something needs your attention. No more squinting at text labels.

Note: The visual treatment is only applied if the “Flagged” field is included in the view.
Bugfixes and Improvements
Non-English Localization Fix for JPD Roadmaps We fixed an issue where JPD roadmaps wouldn’t work if the project was created in a foreign language. It resulted in a translated name for the archived custom field, which broke the filter query.
Users can now access roadmaps directly through the Embed Widget, eliminating the need to navigate to an external website or documentation page. You’ll find a new Roadmap section within the widget, allowing seamless switching between the Changelog and Roadmap.
Introducing text highlighting and color-coded ratings on Roadmaps. Emphasize important updates and improve readability with fancy looking colors. We also added some more color to the roadmaps; read on for all the details.
Text Highlighting
With text highlighting, you can now make important details stand out.
How It Works
Easily add background colors to selected text. Whether you’re announcing new features, marking important updates, or calling out specific details, this tool provides a simple yet powerful way to draw attention to the information that matters most.
Use Cases
Feature status indicators: Clearly indicate the status of features, such as marking a feature as “Beta” to inform users that it’s still in development. Edition-specific features: Highlight features available only in premium or other specific editions, making it clear to users which features they have access to. Critical updates: Use highlighting to ensure users don’t overlook critical updates, such as changes in terms of service or major bug fixes.
Seamless Integration with Confluence
Once you’ve highlighted your text, you can publish to your portals or directly to Confluence, where it will retain its formatting. We are converting our colors to the recently added Confluence highlight colors, to integrate more seamlessly with other content created in Confluence.
Getting Started
To start using text highlighting, simply select the text you want to emphasize and choose a background color from the editor’s options. It’s that easy to make your content more impactful!
Support text highlighting to call out features that are in beta, only available in certain editions, or critical updates and announcements. This enhancement includes background coloring and text color changes for better contrast, along with a button in the bubble menu for setting backgrounds. Rendering is also supported in Embeds and Confluence.
We also added a new "Default" option to remove any text color or highlights.
Bugfixes and Improvements
Support rating colors from default JPD project on Roadmaps Ratings now display in their respective colors for the Value, Effort, and Impact fields on Roadmaps, instead of all in blue.

Column Mapping and Project Updated Flash During Rendering Resolved an issue where column mappings and project updates would momentarily flash during the rendering process.
Today we are releasing the last feature as part of our Roadmaps beta, field configuration. Roadmaps will become available to all customers next week, July 16th.
The field configuration demo below provides a glimpse of what you can expect from Roadmaps. Let’s dive in.
Field Configuration
Users can now add custom fields to items on the roadmap, providing more context and customization. Simply navigate to display options to view and manage available fields, adding them to the card and detail view as needed. Supported fields include Status, Labels, Date, Select, Multi-select, and more, allowing for a high degree of flexibility and detail in project management.
Supported fields
And here is the list of fields that we are supporting with this initial release.
Status
Labels
Date
Select
Multi-select
Issue type
Checkboxes
Radio Buttons
We have a couple more on our list that we will implement in the coming weeks. Please let us know if there are any specific field types you would like to see supported.
Bugfixes and Improvements
AI template improvement AI-generated titles and introductions for templates are now more consistent and free of markdown characters.
Issue when changing field type for column mapping Resolved a bug where switching the field type for column mapping improperly displayed existing field options and a permission error.
We have revamped the portal page in the Jira project context. It now features the exact same page view of the portal that you get when you embed it on your website.
Loading
Not only can you customize the look and feel of this page, but you can also display your Released roadmap within your Jira project.
And to make it easier to review your published roadmap, we now show a “View” link when you hover over the status lozenge.
Loading
Access transparency
Not all users may have access to every project within a space. Consequently, some cards may not be visible on the roadmap, and certain configuration options may be unavailable.
To eliminate confusion, we have added subtle messaging to inform users when they are missing permissions, ensuring they understand exactly why they cannot make changes.
Bugfixes and Improvements
Permalink Routes for Embedded Roadmap Issues Directly link to specific issues within the embedded roadmap using new permalink routes.
Database Index Row Size Fix Resolved an issue where the index row size exceeded the B-tree maximum. You probably didn’t notice.
The main feature holding back a wider rollout of the Roadmaps beta was the lack of filtering. Early adopters told us that filters were essential to sharing only specific items.
Filters are here, and more powerful than ever. In addition to the basic filter options that you already know from the Changelog, we also added a new JQL (Jira Query Language) mode for even more flexibility.
Loading
Tailor your view to display only the issues that matter most, giving you the power to create highly customized roadmaps based on JQL.
Rich Text Roadmap Descriptions
You can now add a rich text description to your roadmap. This feature empowers you to provide context to your roadmap using text, images or even a Loom video. Allowing you to provide high level context that may not be covered by individual roadmap items.
Publishing feedback
Experience a new visual cue when you publish a roadmap with the introduction of a delightful animation. The publish date lozenge will now feature a vibrant green color to clearly indicate that the roadmap has been published.
Loading
Bugfixes
Roadmaps no longer show a blank screen due to the absence of the "Ideas archived" field when JPD is not installed.
Moving cards on the roadmap now works as expected for issues using the status field.
Roadmaps have improved to gracefully handle scenarios where you lack browse permissions for certain projects.
Scrollbars now intelligently show or hide when you open the roadmap issue dialog, eliminating the initial “jumping” of the dialog.
An error message now displays if a search in the Roadmap fails, providing clarity instead of leaving a blank screen.
Go beyond the typical status-based columns. With custom field support for column mapping, you can now map custom field options to your board columns. Bringing a another dimension to your boards.

Whether you're delineating by product area, tracking progress through quarters, organizing your agenda with a Now/Next/Later view, or prioritizing tasks for efficient workflow management, Released opens up a level of customization that aligns with your teams’ specific needs.
Support for Jira Software
Custom column fields not only added a whole lot of flexibility, but it also opened up the door for Jira Software Support. Now you can create high level roadmaps from Jira Product Discovery, or provide more detailed updates from your Jira Software Project. Feeling adventurous? Why not creating a board with issues from Jira Software and Jira Product Discovery. Mix and match any way you want!
Bugfixes and Improvements
Issue Selection and Highlight Fixed an issue where selecting tasks did not highlight related blocks, restoring both selection and highlighting functionality.
Linked Projects Display on Roadmap Creation When creating a new roadmap, you'll see linked projects that are included, with a direct link to modify linked project settings if needed.
Roadmap Embed Rendering Text-heavy issues now render correctly within the roadmap embed, ensuring all content is displayed as intended.
Enhance the clarity and look of your public issue descriptions with our newly introduced rich text formatting. Released now empowers you to create more informative and visually engaging content directly in the description field for roadmap items.

With this update, you're no longer limited to plain text anymore. Infuse your issue descriptions with a variety of formatting options, including the addition of images and videos, to better showcase features.
Single Issue Posts
Now you can select individual issues using the filter. Perfect for when your team writes a single update for every story or epic.

Space Switcher for Project Portals
Effortlessly navigate between multiple spaces within a single project, thanks to the newly introduced space switcher.

The intuitive space switcher dropdown is now an integral part of the project portal page, enabling you to transition smoothly between different spaces. Whether you're tracking progress or reviewing updates, the switcher facilitates quick access to the information that matters most to you in Released.
Released Roadmaps are officially in beta now. Over the coming weeks we will progressively onboard everyone on the waitlist.
It’s still early days, but here is what you can expect when you flick the switch to enable the beta.
Loading
Custom columns
When you first set up your Roadmap view, you can pull in ideas from one or multiple Jira Product Discovery projects. Create custom columns and match the Roadmap states of your ideas to these columns.
Loading
Edit issues
You can edit the public description directly via the issue dialog. The “Edit issue” button will open up the complete Jira ticket, allowing you to change any issue details.
You can also generate a public description via AI. But please note that this is a beta. Let’s just say it needs a bit more work. 😊
Loading
Publishing
And of course you can publish your roadmap. Just hit the publish button in the top right and your roadmap will become available via the page embed (you can see preview in the Settings under Embeds > Page).
A lozenge at the top of the screen will tell you when the roadmap was last published. And blue indicators on the cards will let you know which issues have changed since the last publish date.
To make Roadmaps even more useful, we will add a number of features in the coming weeks before the official launch. The most important ones in no particular order:
On/off setting for page embed - Allowing you to enable or disable the roadmaps on your embed page.
Filters - to only show specific issues
Timeline view - which would be ideal for presenting quarterly plans
Field options - to turn on/off custom fields on the card view and in the popup dialog.
Rich-text descriptions - Allowing you to add images and video into the description
Join the beta

We’ve been busy imagining what that better way would look like and are excited to give you a first glimpse at it. Sign up for the beta. We will gradually onboard people starting next week.
Enhanced Publishing Speed
We've optimized the PublishDialog by pre-fetching Confluence data, ensuring you can publish your work faster than ever before. No more waiting – your ideas go live in a snap.
Bugfixes and Improvements
Enhanced SEO for Post Content The overview page now only shows links when a search engine bot comes to visit. That helps with detail pages getting flagged as duplicates.
With this new feature, you can easily move issues from one column to another. Whether you want to move an issue from "To-do" to "In progress" or from "In progress" to "Done," it's as simple as a flick of the wrist.
Say hello to a more intuitive and fluid workflow with this newly added drag and drop functionality. Making changes to your roadmap has never been easier!
Expanded Descriptions in Public Roadmap
We've made improvements to the public roadmap view by adding the ability to expand descriptions with just a click. Now, you can easily access more detailed information about each feature or enhancement directly from the roadmap.
Bugfixes
