Best way to flag story as blocked until discussion.

John Cleveland

I'm a user to a new company's Jira platform and am working on story's. I've put comments in some that need further discussion and I have a meeting setup for the discussion. Right now they are "In Progress". Is there some way to flag them as blocked for now so I can easily search or pull up the ones I need to discuss in the meeting?

If you are interested in adding a new "Priority" Type, you can go to:

JIRA Administrator > Issues
Locate the Priorities Tab (its under Issue Attributes)
Under Add New Priotiy fill out the information (Name, Description, Icon URL and Priority Color)
Here is what I used
1. Name - Block
2. Description - This is optional
3. Icon URL - /images/icons/priorities/blocker.svg
4. Priority Color - #ff0000
Now you have created a new priorty type that will show users it is blocked.

Just to follow up, for easy use of "Blocked" issues after you have done this, you can create a new swimlane on your Scrum or Kanban board.

Go to your board > Configure > Swimlanes
Add a new name, and JQL. Here is what I did:
1. Name - Blocked Issues
2. JQL - Priorty = Blocked

This is what I did, I'm sure there are other ways.

Hope this is helpful!

If you have any other questions about going this route, let me know!

John Cleveland

I don't think I have access to do this and doubt the company I'm working for will want to change this just for me.

Thomas B

It's very simple, but hopefully someone else will have another solution.

It looks like on a story I can create a label. Would that be a good way to identify them?

Thomas B

You could use a label too but I don't think you can see that label on the main Kanban/Scrum Board, you'll have to click into the issue anyways...

However, if you have the ability to filter issues, you could filter by label = John C or whatever you enter.

Add a blocked status to your issues

- Board Settings

- Columns

- Add status

- Blocked / In Progress

Create a filter that shows all items in blocked status
