.1 of Delegated Project Admin Pro for Jira. Based on feedback from some of our amazing customers, this release is all about enabling trusted users to manage multiple projects more efficiently and consistently, which saves time and ensures projects remain accurate and in sync.

For example, if a user tries to switch the workflow scheme for a project, the Lock will only allow one "switch" per project in a given period of time. Admins can break the locks

The new looking mechanism will guard against users triggering the same action multiple times at the same time, however the administrator can at any time "break" these locks.

To ensure project settings are modified correctly and data stays in sync, we've added enhanced locking capabilities for admins. Configure Locks to temporarily prevent multiple
