3.19.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2026-11-02
Version 3.19.0 of Out of Office Assistant brings the app back into Jira spaces and hands over approvals for Jira Service Management customers. It also makes the date search fields work again and improves the customer search.
No action needed for existing setups. If a saved filter compares outofoffice-from or outofoffice-until with =, change it to <, <=, > or >=.
New Features
Out of Office Assistant in Spaces
Inside a space, Out of Office Assistant appears in the space navigation, under More when the row is full, or in the sidebar under the space, depending on the space type. It opens Team Availability for that space only. See Interface Tour and Navigation Guide.
Approval Handover for Service Management Customers
An approver coverer on a customer's rule takes the customer's place in the chosen approval field of open requests within about an hour after the absence starts. Within about an hour after it ends, the customer is put back. See Creating Out of Office Rules for JSM Customers.
