Hi everyone,

Thank you for your interest in this issue.

While this suggestion has gathered significant interest, we're unable to implement all of the excellent suggestions you make. We don't plan to work on this for the foreseeable future. This suggestion will be reviewed in about 12 months time, at which point we’ll consider whether we need to alter its status.

We understand this decision will be disappointing to everyone who voted for this issue. While we believe this suggestion would improve the product, after careful review of the most pressing needs of our customers, we've decided to prioritize other areas of the Jira Server roadmap, including:

Performance and stability improvements
Archiving projects for improved performance
Optimising the use of custom fields
Improving performance of boards
Improving Jira notifications
Allowing users to edit shared filters and dashboards
Mobile app for Jira Server
We hope that you appreciate our candid and transparent communication. You can learn more about our approach to highly voted server suggestions here.
