Optimise/Repair option not appearing next to the ranking field?

Norman Hills1

We are having some problems getting ranking to work, one thing we need to do is optimise/repair the rank field, on the Greenhopper config screen for our Scrum projects, the Rank field is shown but there is no option to optimise/repair it - has anyone seen this?

Cheers

Just a quick sanity check - is the rank field valid (in field config) for this project? And have you added it? The config screen often makes it look like the field is there when it actually hasn't been added yet.

Hi Norman,

did you configure the field "Rank" in your project template as the ranking field ? The optimize / repair field is only visible when the field is configured as the Ranking field.

Best regards

Hi Thomas,

On the project configuration page it is using the 'Scrum' template and the Ranking field box shows 'Rank', there is no optimise/repair in the box to the right, this is the same in the greenhopper config screen and on the project config screen.

Hi Nic,

On the custom field screen the Rank field is of type 'Global Rank' and is applied to all issue types.

Ok, that answers the first half of my question. The second half is important too, and we have to be *very* clear.

Does the box showing "rank" appear as a select list with "rank" as the first/default item and "add" to the right. Or, does it appear as plain text saying "rank"?

If it's the first, then you have NOT added rank to the project as the ranking field. Click Add and see what happens (then you'll understand why I say this screen can be confusing and effectively lying to you)

Thanks Thomas, I'm beginning to think you're right, time to get Atlassian involved :-( Cheers Norman

Hi All,

In recent versions of GreenHopper we have implemented the Global Rank field which replaces the old numeric Rank field with a linked list of all issues in the system. The Global Rank field is always consistent and does not need to be repaired. The Global Rank cannot be directly edited.

Global Rank was introduced for the Rapid Board in the 5.8 series of GreenHopper and became the only ranking field late in the 5.8 series, I think around 5.8.5.

Thanks,
Shaun

ok, so we were hunting for ghosts... ;-)

thank you for the information

I have GH 6.3 and it seems that some issues are missing from the Agile boards without a reasons. After I investigated I found that this may be caused by some inconsistencies inside the Ranking table which is supposed be always be consistent. It seems that it isn't...
