JIRA Version Display not mapping issue status correctly

[Jon Kosbab]

In our workflow we use the following issue statuses when issues for our codebase are fixed:

Resolved = code fix applied to a user's branch of code and tested successfully

Committed = code fix merged to main production code trunk and tested successfully

Closed = code fix approved and can be installed on production servers

I first started working with a Kanban Board to select issues I would want to include in a production software release.  I found the functionality allowed me to edit the columns displayed on the board so that all issues were displayed in the correct column.  However I wanted a more basic summary for display on our group's dashboard instead of displaying the entire Kanban Board in the Agile Wallboard gadget.

I then started working with Release Versions in JIRA and assigning the targeted release version via the "Fix Version/s" field.  The JIRA Road Map gadget for displaying the status of a version on the group dashboard was more what I thought would be useful, including having a targeted release date.

When I view the Version display for a release the "Resolved" and "Closed" statuses are correctly displayed as "Issues done", and the in-progress issues are correctly displayed as "Issues in progress".  But the "Committed" issues are being counted as "Issues to do" instead of "Issues done".  Is there a way to change this like I was able to do on the Kanban Board?

if you want Committed to = Done then you need to change the category.

1. Edit the workflow.
2. Double-click the status
3. Change the category from IP to Done

It is important to note that the "Release" button on Kanban board operates ONLY on the far right column. so if you have the following...

RESOLVED           COMMITTED          CLOSED       

2 issues                4 issues                  10 issues

and you click Release then only the 10 closed will be released into the version.

Not familiar with that gadget, but you might want to go to that status in your work flow and check to see if it's in the 'Completed' category or if it's labeled "To Do".

That might explain the problem.

HA! what Jack said - more details.
