For complete information, see Delete a test case.
Updated folder tree. We’ve updated the folder tree look & feel. Also, it now supports quick search and folder re-grouping:
Discontinued support
Import of test cases from Excel files is not supported anymore. This decision was made to align Zephyr Scale with Atlassian guidelines and to streamline the import process. We’d suggest using CSV files instead of Excel sheets. You can easily save Excel data to a CSV file in Excel, and then import this CSV file in Zephyr Scale with same results, and with better performance and security.
Bug fixes
Improved stability of CSV imports so that empty lines in the end of the file are ignored.
Zephyr Scale failed to import a CSV file with null values in the header row.
In certain cases, Jira filters using the
hasTestCoverage()function returned duplicated issues.The Test Player showed duplicated test execution custom fields.
The change logs showed an incorrect date/time stamp of a user deletion.
7.1.1
Released on September 9, 2020.
Compatible with Jira 7.X and later.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue related to the layout of dropdowns in the Test Player.
We fixed an issue where the “last updated” value wasn’t being correctly updated in the change history when linking Jira issues.

We fixed an issue that prevented users of Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL databases from adding more than 1000 test cases to a test cycle.

7.1.0
Released on August 12, 2020.
Compatible with Jira 7.X and later.
Custom fields API
This release includes the addition of custom field endpoints to the Zephyr Scale Server API. Using the new endpoints, you can now enable Zephyr Scale and create custom fields for one or many projects.
We’ve added this to the API to make it quicker for teams to configure multiple Jira projects with the same custom fields.
You can find the API documentation with more information here:

Other improvements
We changed the API for test executions to set the
assignedByfield to unassigned by default if no username is set.We changed the Test Execution reports to make them more readable with large number of data elements.
