I create an extension to hide/show the right hand sidebar(or called panel)，maxmize the create issue dialog.You can toggle the status of right hand sidebar or create issue dialog by clicking the extension icon in corresponding view. In addition, the default keyboard shortcurt is CTRL+B (you can set the shortcut as your willing by extension manager). 

chrome: Better Jira Browse - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

edge: Better Jira Browse - Microsoft Edge Addons

I define "Better Jira Browse Status" as "the right hand sidebar/panel was hidden" and "the create issue pop up dialog/window maxmized", and the "not Better Jira Browse Status" as the opposite. Correspondly The icon with check mark of the extension stands for the "Better Jira Browse Status", The icon without check mark of the extension stands for the "not Better Jira Browse Status". The "Better Jira Browse Status" is on by default when extension is installed and will keep until you click to toggle it again. For convience, you could pin the extension so that you can click icon to toggle status easily, or of course you can use the keyboard shortcut.

Contact with me if you have any problem when you use the extension.

I created an extension to collapse/expand the right panel of Jira. Freeing up more space on the main panel.
It will be useful until they implement this function in Jira.

@Liron, yeap, fixed again. Thanks a lot for getting to it this fast. I really appreciate it!

9baa613f79a2 should work again now, can you check please?

Thanks!

Resizing of the right column has stopped working today. We're back at the very beginning of this ticket. Nothing has been fixed. OMG, this is a joke. 

(Can anyone please confirm? I'm testing in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and in all 3 of them the right column is fixed width, ridiculously wide...)

Hi everyone, thank you for raising your comments on this.

You are correct, this ticket was handling two must-haves, and we only solved one of them which is the resizing.

As for hiding the right sidebar entirely, I have now created a new ticket so that we are specific on tracking just that ability.

Please watch this ticket https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-79327 to get updated on its progress. At the moment we are assessing the difficulty and the need beyond the resizing that was already shipped.

Thanks all!

Can any one recommend alternatives to jira? Preferable sth. like how Jira was before they moved to jira cloud. We still have a large on-prem jira installation and are looking for alternatives

this company are so bad with product features its unbelievable.  I think we should have a Q&A session with the CEO and Head of Product.

I cannot reopen... Closed state is final according to the workflow:

But I totally agree that this ticket isn't fixed at all. Resize was part of the question, but hiding the right hand panel was the real question... I'm not surprise Jira does only half the work they should. That's how they roll...

How on earth is this fixed? It can't be hidden/collapsed just resized a little bit. It still takes way too much space. @Stijn Beeckmans can you reopen this one?
