James Jordan (ID: 000000020d01c4a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/04/2021 Glad someone did this.

Diego Raguindin (ID: 00000069392abbf6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/15/2021 It works fine when accessing a ticket directly from within Jira, but when opening a ticket from an e-mail notification some redirect happens and the URL parameter to force the old view (?oldIssueView=true) gets removed during that process. Example of a URL from e-mail notification that forces a redirect: https://fakeprojectname.atlassian.net/browse/projectkey-465?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZWE5NjZhOWFkYmQ3NDdkNTgzOGU0YjVkNjg2Z

Mariusz Lotko (ID: 0000009a5a491131) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2019 Exactly what I wanted: new view for boards and old view for issues (with comment links, watchers and more details).
