🔹Renamed "Detach shared step" to "Convert to regular steps" to make the action clearer.
🔹Fixed an issue where emojis were not highlighted as changes in the Changes history modal for test cases.
🔹Updated backend validation to prevent creating test plans without test runs via the public API.

This release also includes dozens of targeted improvements across the app. Highlights:

🔹Prevented creation of duplicate test case titles within the same folder by showing a validation error
🔹Fixed inconsistent test case placement after moving folders

🔹Easier editing of Shared Steps from Test Case

You can now edit Shared Steps directly from within a test case. A new option in the step context menu lets you:

Open the shared step in a new tab, or
Refresh it in place after editing

🔹Clearer Template behavior without variables

When saving a Template test case without any variables, QA Sphere now shows a clear warning. The message explains that such templates won't be included in test runs, helping you avoid confusion and coverage gaps.

🔹Improved Jira Issue linking in Test Runs

In Test Runs, the Create Jira Issue dialog now has smarter selectors for Epic and Parent issue:

Search by issue title or enter a Jira ID (e.g. KAN-100)
Epics are sorted by creation date (newest first)

🔹Smarter Jira linking in Requirements

While creating a Requirement, you can now:

Search existing Jira issues by title or ID
Avoid duplicates by reusing the right Jira issue
Automatically pull the title from the linked Jira issue when you paste a link

🔹Advanced import guidance

We've updated the Import dialog to make available options clearer. For advanced imports (for example, imports with attachments or migrations from other test management systems), you'll see guidance to contact our team — we'll help you get your data in correctly.

🔹Convert regular Test Case to Template

🔹Copy links for multiple Test Cases

You can now quickly share test cases with your team using the new Copy Links option for multiple selections. Select several test cases and choose Copy Links to copy them in either:

- Markdown list
- Rich Text (HTML-style links)

🔹Requirements support for Bulk Write with AI

When using Bulk Write with AI on the Test Cases page, you can now paste Jira links into the Functional Requirements field. QA Sphere will automatically fetch the issue text and use it as input for AI-generated test cases

🔹Bulk Test Case creation (easier to find)

The AI-powered Bulk Test Case Creation is now available directly under the Create button on the Test Cases page. Click Create → Bulk Create with AI to generate multiple test cases at once. A keyboard shortcut is also available for even faster access.

🔹Better layout for large screens

On wide screens, you can now see the folder tree, test case list, and test case preview side by side. You can also resize the drawer and content area by dragging the vertical separator to create the layout that works best for you.

The community energy is incredible — open, curious, and full of great ideas.
