The Xray team is proud to announce the release of Xray 3.6.0.
The main goal for this version is to improve the Requirement issue web panel by providing a full data table with pagination, search and sort capabilities.
Also, there is now a dedicated "Actual Results" field on manual Test Step results. The actual results field also supports embedding images.
Another useful feature can be found on the Test Plan issue. Users can now use the new filter component with the ability to use any Jira field for filtering and also JQL.
As part of our continuous improvement, more performance enhancements have also been included in this version.

Filter including additional fields and JQL
Filtering within a Test Plan issue has just been made easier. It is now possible to include any issue field (native or custom fields) to filter Tests within a Test Plan issue. JQL searches are also possible as of now.
Of course, the filter values are also saved in user preferences so that users do not lose context when navigating between issues and reports.
