6.1.0
Version 6.1.0 was released on June 1, 2022.
Template improvements
Template list in issues
Users can now browse templates from issues, which will give them access to more features regarding templates.
Template owners
Users can now be marked as template owners, allowing them to edit templates through the template list opened from issues. By default, the creator of a template will become its owner.
Administrators are allowed to change the owner of a template.
After upgrading to 6.1, existing templates will have no owner.
This feature require the Create/Edit Templates from Checklists parameter to be enabled.
Favorite templates
Users can now favorite templates, making them available in the “Quick import” section of the template dropdown.
Pinned templates
Administrators and project administrators can now pin importable templates, making them available for all users in the Quick import section of the template dropdown.
Issue conversion improvements
Automatic issue links from item conversions
You can select an issue link type which will be used to automatically create an issue link between the issue created from the conversion and the original issue.
In the Convert items to issues dialog the selected issue link type will be pre-selected.
Issue keys in converted items
Converting items used to rename the items with the freshly created issue’s key. This approach didn’t work well with global items since these items cannot be renamed. The resulting issue key is now stored separately and can be seen at a glance in the items.

Breaking changes
The allMandatoryItemsChecked() search function’s behavior is changing
Before this release, the allMandatoryItemsChecked() function returned issues where the checklist either had all of its mandatory items checked or contained no mandatory items at all. With this change, the function requires the checklist to contain at least one mandatory item.
This rule applies to both the positive and the negative filters.
The following table shows the difference of results if you were to use the Checklist = allMandatoryItemsChecked() function.
Before 6.1.0 | After 6.1.0 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Use case | Function result | Use case | Function result |
 | True | | False |
