What does the - dash next to story points mean

The status has never been marked to done

[Tomislav Tobijas]

Hi @Jude Iyannah ,

I haven't worked on server for a while, but I believe 'dash' represents null/empty value. E.g. value for story points has changed from null to 3, for the second issue is empty...

However, I'm wondering where this particular screen is located. Are we talking about sprint backlog, some report, or something else?

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Tomislav Tobijas 

Thank you for your response.

This is a sprint report.

I am not quite sure i get what you mean by " 'dash' represents null/empty value. E.g. value for story points has changed from null to 3, for the second issue is empty..."

Please can you kindly elaborate.

Regards

Hi @Jude Iyannah ,

I've just tested this and these changes in the Sprint Report represent values that have changed after the sprint started and before the sprint ended.

In your example, that would mean that during the selected sprint, someone has set Story Points for the first issue (the one in the status "Code Review") from 'none' to 3. The second issue value for Story Points didn't change and remained 'null'/field value was not entered. Someone changed Story Points value from 'null' to 3 for the last issue etc.

So basically, Sprint Report displays all changes for Story Points (among other things), and if you wish to see who and when made that change, you can navigate to that particular issue and check out issue history.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tom

I agree with Tomislav; the dash means empty/zero. The arrow indicates, that there has been a change.

Does this have anything to do with the status set to done at a certain point or can it be at any status?

Hi @Jude Iyannah 

I think that depends. I am not 100% familiar with this view - where did you find it?
