📦 Easy Templates: v5.8.0
With this version, Easy Templates now fully leverages Forge backend and storage as its sole infrastructure - no more 3rd-party AWS. One step closer to Runs on Atlassian! 🎉
This release continues our Forge Remote migration and supports the overall Connect to Forge transition plan .

⚠️ Important to know
With Forge hosted storage , the process for app uninstalling and data retention is changed:
-
Uninstalling the app will unlink your templates from the app.
-
Reinstalling the app will not automatically restore your templates.
-
You can still recover your templates, but it will require assistance from the Atlassian support team and must be done within 21 days of the uninstall.
-
Submit your recovery request via our Customer Portal
-
Then we’ll follow up with Atlassian to make the recovery possible
-
This is an Atlassian legal requirement to keep data retention consistent.

Atlassian Forge ticket: “ Option to relink data after app reinstallation ”

These changes might affect your usual template workflows. If you notice any discrepancies, let us know ! We're dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for you and your team
-
The app is not yet eligible for “Runs on Atlassian.” Remote storage remains enabled for Connect customers who have not migrated. We plan to achieve “Runs on Atlassian” status within 1 to 2 months.
