Oh no, probably even less chance now that this 22 year old ticket will be attended to. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1001 sadface

My pet let-down is https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1330 this feature alone would make Jira orders of magnitude more versatile.

So much that you could build a totally new product around it :P

I see all the people here talking about JIRA or/and Bitbucket server. However Confulence is not mentioned that much. I think the hardest product to replace is Confluence, especially on-prem, when you need your data inside your firewall. There are many bad things in Confluence: 1. search is completely broken since several versions 2. the editor is not very good 3. it's just too slow Hoever, there is 1 very good featur…

> search is completely broken since several versions The terrible secret of Confluence search is that it defaults to OR between terms (which I think is a Lucene default that it inherited, even if it doesn't use Lucene anymore). Once I started remembering to add AND between my search terms my searches became much more relevant. It's silly that I have to, of course, but I'm glad to get better search results.

Wut? It doesn't use Lucene any more? Wow, what else is out there in the Java world that does full text search?

Ah, sorry, I don't know if it uses Lucene anymore. I meant "even if it's not still Lucene, it's still using that Lucene default".

> I used to consult on JIRA a while back. If consultants exist for a product, you know up-front that the product is intended as an "enterprise," end-all-be-all product, intended to be bought by high-level people, implemented by middle-level people, and configured to frustrate low-level people. It's not the product; it's the implementation, and it's a misalignment of incentives. Most companies big enough to afford JIR…

Mate... Jira is ~$8 a user per month. Complain about it all you like but you can't make comments about it's affordability. It's by far the cheapest option out there given it's feature set.
