What it is

Improvement

You can add Focus areas as a column in Jira List view. Each cell shows the associated focus areas and lets you add or remove them without leaving the list. JQL filters now show a focus area by its name instead of its ARI.

Users

Users can add the Focus area column from Add column, edit focus areas in the cell with the picker, and filter by focus area using JQL.
