Release notes : WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira Cloud 1.2.0-AC

About ACT_AS_USER

ACT_AS_USER is a scope that grants the app permission to impersonate a user and access Jira.

Why we added the ACT_AS_USER scope to WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira

Currently, in WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira, when editing and saving fields such as the start date on the Gantt chart screen, the history shows that the app updated the fields, making it unclear who actually made the updates to the issues (see attached image).

By granting the ACT_AS_USER scope, WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira can impersonate the user operating the app when updating issues, thus resolving the above problem.

Furthermore, this scope increases the number of operations that can be performed on the application server side, enabling us to explore different methods for performance improvements.

Manual Update Required

The update to version 1.2.0 will not be performed automatically.
Your Atlassian Cloud site administrator needs to manually approve the update.

What Happens If You Don't Approve the Update

Version 1.2.0 does not yet implement user impersonation functionality, so you can continue to use WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira without any problems even if you do not approve the update.
However, future releases will gradually add impersonation processing, and if you do not update, errors will occur in the next release, making WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira unusable.
