How do I edit a Jira task?

Shawn Connelly

I am creating a new project that should act like a troubleshooting knowledge base and I keep encountering odd and frustrating issues.

I suspect much of this is due to my lack of understanding of Jira administration/configuration, so please be patient with me.

I'm using the next-gen project.

Question (1 of many):
The ellipsis under the task title has the option, "Add more" (add more Jira plug-ins) - how do I remove this? The users of this project should not see this non-relevant option.

Can anyone recommend Jira training that covers building next-gen Jira projects. Or should I revert back to a traditional Jira project?

Thank you,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

I am not on the Jira team but I will try to help.

In Next Gen Projects, if you want to edit a field you need to click on the text and the field will become editable.

In terms of managing Add-Ons, the part of Jira that handles Add-Ons is called the Universal Plugin Manager.

It is possible to switch this to offline mode so that new Add-ons cannot be installed: https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/configuring-marketplace-connectivity-306350947.html   However, I think this will impact all add-ons on your Jira instance, not just for the next gen project.

I hope that helps!
