Atlassian Status as of 7th Sep 2017 Hi all, We're excited to announce that the ability to split issue is available in JIRA Software 7.5 starting from today! We really appreciate your patience with this feature request, and apologize for our silence on the matter. As we've mentioned before, our Cloud and Server deployment options are now on separate roadmaps ( read more here ), but this is a great example of a new feature shipped in cloud, that was popular and prioritized with server customers, that we have brought into server. JIRA Software 7.5 is now available to download so you can start planning your upgrade straight away! Learn more in our release notes . Cheers, Jakub Lazinski Product Manager, JIRA Server
