Time to go through some exciting changes and updates from the Atlassian ecosystem.
Change the workflow and issue type of a request type
Recently there was a new feature in the JSM projects where the workflow of the request type can be changed swiftly. I believe Atlassian wants to treat Issue Type as the workflow and when I changed the workflow, it also changed the issue type. Learn about it here.

Jira Product Discovery is coming out of beta
This product was release sometime back as a beta. I did try it and honestly, I am not 100% sure about using it or suggesting it to my clients but it is good to know that it is out of beta. You can read about it here.
