Hi community!
Let me ask you few questions:
- How many times did you change the name of your status?
- How many times did you changed the key of your space?
That's it, two questions. I bet the answer is at least once. And did you notice the change? No. Jira doesn't give you that notice.
What happens under the hood?
A lot of things change. That change is no nearby the positive change. No. It's bad. Most of the things in Jira are connected: your statuses with a workflow, which is then also reflected on the workflow scheme and those statuses appear on your boards. Now, a CHANGE happened, and you are sharing your workflow scheme with 20 other spaces which had a status name changed. In operation terms, everything is okay.
In the terms of filters, dashboards,automation rules everything is broken. That's why you get the DMs from your Ops teams, Management, and more.
What is the solution?
Currently, as the out-of-the-box solution in Jira, this doesn't exist. This can be troublesome for the enterprises that are relying on Jira for many, many years. And the solution could be found here
