Personal and Global Calendar Subscriptions

new You can now create explicit global subscription to share calendars with external and internal colleagues and calendars.

When creating a subscription you can choose between personal and global subscriptions.

Personal subscriptions can use use-tailored functions and filters and are great to sync your own Jira issues to any calendar. These could be issues assigned to you, created by you, your starred issues, or any advanced JQL filter such as watcher = currentUser().
Global subscriptions are intended to be shared with other team members and external shareholders. For example you could share Planned Maintenances, Upcoming Releases, Recently Completed Epics.
