Dependency-aware scheduling in plans
In Jira plans, holding Shift while you drag or resize a timeline bar now moves eligible downstream linked work items by the same number of days. It is coming soon to Atlassian Cloud.

What it is
Experiment
Holding Shift while dragging or resizing a timeline bar in a plan reschedules linked downstream work items along with it. Their durations and existing spacing stay as they are. If more than one work item is affected, Jira asks for confirmation before applying the change.
Users who edit plan timelines can hold Shift to move linked work items together, then choose Cancel all, Change only this work item, or Apply all changes when a confirmation appears.
