Enables the use of the new /rest/api/2/search/jql endpoint for querying issues and related entities in Jira Cloud.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

This connection property controls whether the driver uses the newer /rest/api/2/search/jql endpoint for executing JQL-based queries in Jira Cloud. This property is enabled by default (true), as the legacy /rest/api/2/search endpoints (GET and POST) are deprecated and scheduled for removal on May 1st.

When set to true, the driver routes search requests through the new /search/jql endpoint for querying not only Issues, but also related entities, including:

• Issues
• Comments
• IssueAffectedVersions
• IssueChangelogs
• IssueComponents
• IssueFixVersions
• IssueLinks
• IssueSubtasks
• IssueTransitions
• Worklogs
• Attachments

This ensures forward compatibility with Jira Cloud's evolving API standards. However, performance may be slower in some scenarios due to changes in how data is paginated in the new endpoint.

When set to false, the driver falls back to using the older /search endpoint.

This property has no effect when connecting to Jira Data Center, where the existing endpoints remain valid.
