I had the absolute pleasure of spending last week in beautiful Barcelona, participating in Atlassian Team24 Europe. It all kicked off with a bang, with a keynote in which Arsène Wenger was the guest speaker. It was such an interesting talk! It was about managing a team, and how to support your team members, as well as managing your own expectations.

There were so many interesting sessions! I wish I could have attended them all, but some of the ones I was interested in were taking place at the same time. I know I'll watch some of them when they're available online. The lovely folks at Atlassian chatted a lot about where they've already been, what they've done, and where they're headed next. I have to say, they have a really interesting view of where they want to be in a few years' time! They really emphasized a lot of great things!

During Team 24 Atlassian announced one, but big change in Atlassian University. Previously, on-demand courses cost $39. And now you can enroll in any of courses, or any of the learning paths containing those courses for free.

You can get started with courses that cover the basics — key concepts, core product features, and best practices — then validate your skills with a career-boosting credential. Or, you can take the guided route on one of learning paths, which are series of courses designed to help you achieve a particular goal.

What’s new Free Learning Access: Atlassian University now offers 100% free on-demand courses to help individuals and teams at every stage of their journey, from getting started with a new product to preparing for an official certification. Course Offerings: The courses cover key concepts, core features, best practices, and soft skills. Popular courses include managing Jira Service Projects, Asset Management Essentials, and Confluence Administration. Learning Paths: Guided learning paths are available for specific goals like onboarding, delivering better outcomes at work, and advancing your career. Certification Preparation: Free certification preparation learning paths are provided to help users earn Atlassian Certifications, validating their knowledge and skills. If you don’t know that, Atlassian University is here:

How to change project categories in bulk in Jira?

This is possible, but you need to have a Scriptrunner. And it’s really simple, you just need to go to the Script Console, and paste this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.parameters.annotation.ShortTextInput

@ShortTextInput(description = "List of project Keys separated by commas", label = "Project Key List")
String projectListString

@ShortTextInput(description = '', label = "New Category")
String categoryName

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def projectList = projectListString.tokenize(' ,').findResults { pkey ->
   projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey(pkey)
}
def newCat = projectManager.getProjectCategoryObjectByName(categoryName)
if (!newCat) {
   return "There is no category by the name $categoryName. Manually assign that category to one project from the project settings first, then come back here to bulk-update more projects."
}
projectList.each {
   projectManager.setProjectCategory(it, newCat)
}

It will gives you a simple tool, where you can paste list of projects and new category for those projects.

And that’s all 🙂 Really easy copy-paste and it’s done.

Atlassian has been made aware of an issue reported by a handful of customers where external attackers may have exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in publicly accessible Confluence Data Center and Server instances to create unauthorized Confluence administrator accounts and access Confluence instances.

The Vulnerability has been marked with a maximum CVSS value (10/10) and allows you to create a Confluence administrator account from the Internet.

Yes.

It’s not a stupid joke.

In 2023 we finally have it. Dark theme in Jira. Still in beta, and only in Cloud, but there it is 😉

Dark theme has landed in Jira

Atlassian will release their own whiteboard. It will be a part of the confluence. So you will not have to use miro or mural (or similar online services). You will not need apps like Microsoft whiteboard or Apple freeform. Confluence will be everything what you need.
