Changelog

Release 1.1.0

This release extends the suite with a new Traffic Light KPI custom field and incorporates the add-on's official visual assets: the main logo and preview images for the available fields.

New Features

• Traffic Light KPI Custom Field: New numeric field type that renders a color indicator (🔴 red / 🟡 yellow / 🟢 green) on the issue detail view and in listings. Thresholds are configurable per context (Red max / Yellow max), allowing different rules per project or issue type from the field configuration page. Color is always resolved from the active context of the issue, with accessible rendering (aria-label tags per state) and a compact view for columns and boards. Includes an integrated searcher (Number Range Searcher) for filtering by numeric value via JQL (=, <, <=, >, >=), and the entire administration interface is internationalized (i18n) in English and Spanish.

Design and Visual Assets

• Official Admin Essentials add-on logo: the plugin's main logo (512×512 px PNG) is included, visually consistent with the suite's field icons.
• Email field preview image: available on Jira's custom field creation screen, visually representing an email field (envelope and sample address).
• Traffic Light field preview image: available on Jira's custom field creation screen, representing the three-bulb indicator (green / yellow / red).

Technical Notes

• Traffic Light threshold configuration is always tied to the active FieldConfigContext, allowing independent thresholds per project or issue type without duplicating the field.
• While a context has no thresholds defined, field values render in gray (no state) to avoid communicating a color that could lead to misinterpretation.
• This version's threshold model assumes "higher values are better". If your KPI works the other way around, model the thresholds by inverting the meaning of the range.

Release 1.0.0

First Stable Release

This is the first stable release of the add-on. Starting with this release, the plugin officially adopts the name Admin Essentials, reflecting its nature as a multi-module suite of utilities for Jira administrators.

New Features

• Email Custom Field: New Email custom field type available for Jira Data Center projects that allows recording one email address per issue, rendered as a mailto: link on the issue view. Server-side format validation follows the HTML5 specification (the same applied by browsers to <input type="email">), ensuring consistent data from any source (Jira screens, REST API, importers, and external integrations). Applies RFC 5321 limits: maximum 254 characters total and 64 characters in the local part, and the field is searchable from basic search and JQL with integrated search support with the Jira engine.

Quality and Coverage

• Unit test suite for the Email field, including edge cases (maximum lengths, special characters, and invalid inputs).
• CI quality gates configured to enforce minimum coverage on each merge.

Technical Notes

• The plugin has been officially renamed to Admin Essentials as the user-facing name, laying the foundation for future modules.
• Compatible with Jira Data Center 10.3.18 or later.
