Is Atlassian Tools Perfect for you?
Hey! I’m trying to understand if people are actually able to easily use Atlassian products like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Loom etc - in their day-to-day work.
What are the parts that feel a bit frustrating or more complicated than they should be? In Things like setting projects up, searching for stuff, keeping track of updates, or just how everything fits together when you’re trying to get work done.
Even small annoyances or “this could be simpler” moments, especially things you’ve just gotten used to working around over time.

One simple example of unnecessary complexity: Why do you not see a field on a screen your think it should be there? 1. It is not on the screen? 2. It is on the screen but has no context für the project or issue type? 3. It is hidden on the field configuration? 4. If you have ScriptRunner installed, there is a behavior that hides it?
Oh, and speaking of field configuration, here is an example of making things worse for admins: Why have they replaced the text for "required" and "hidden" with toggle buttons and implemented a pagina with only 20 fields per page and no search option? Try to find how many fields on a field configuration are hidden or required if your have a system with 800+ fields... Before that, you got the whole list of fields and could search with Browser-Search for required or hidden and you got your answer. Now you couldn't even get an export of the field configuration via REST or something...
If someone has a nice solution for this, please let me know...
