How can I mark a task or project with a star?

unknown

On the interface "my work" I have three tabs: viewed, assigned to me and marked. But how can I mark projects and tasks so that they are listed under "marked"?

From one of the last software versions I remember a small yellow star that I found very useful as a bookmark. Where did it disappear to?

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, no, you can't currently star an issue. You can vote for and follow along with the feature request here:

Hi @[deleted] ,

like this one, you still can't find it now?

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't know.

But you used to be able to tag epics and tasks. Almost all the things I do are in one and the same project. So unfortunately the marked project doesn't really help me yet.

As far as I know, for the mark of a single Issue, you can only achieve it by adding watchers.

But unfortunately "watching" is a passive process to be notified of changes. Since there is no possibility to display all watched tasks in a list, it is not suitable as workaround for the missing stars. It's a real pity that this feature has been forgotten in the update.

So to summarise what I have understood from this thread:

- On 'Your work' I have a tab 'Starred'

- Currently I can only 'Star' Projects

- Currently I cannot 'Star' issues (I have added my vote to https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-74384)

- On an Issue, I have two options

- Watch - emails me updates to that issue

- Add Flag

Does anybody know what adding a Flag does?

John Funk

Hi Keri - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Adding a Flag is Jira's way of denoting blocked work. Or at least that's the way we use it. But it will add a Flag icon to the issue on the board as well as shade it a light yellow.

And I guess you could use it (the field is called Flagged) in any query/JQL/filter.

@John Funk I appreciate this answer. Could you explain what blocked work is? Like others on this thread, I've been looking for a way to star or otherwise track tasks that I'm partially responsible for but where I am not the assignee (since Jira only allows one assignee). Thank you!

John Funk

Hi @Kate Aid - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Blocked work is really whatever you define it to be. We define it as something that I want to work on but I physically can't because something is preventing me from making progress on it. Until that thing is removed, I can't work on it.

We use the Flag feature to identify that work. When the blocker/obstacle is removed, we simply clear the Flag.
