I have lots of JIRAs in my backlog already prioritise. How can I set the Rank to match my priority?

Question

In Greenhopper 6.0, it seems that the way to set the "Global Rank" is to move the JIRAs up or down in the plan section.  I have over 1000 JIRA in our Backlog, already sorted by Priority and another custom field (scale 1 to 10 within each priority).

I want to set the Rank to match this sorting. How can I do this without spending hours dragging and dropping 1000+ JIRAs?

Hi Tim,

I'm afraid it is not possible to do that. We store the ranking information as a linked list inside the database, with each row containing an issueId and the issueId of the next item in the linked list, so it is not just a number stored on the database that you can match it to the priority field.

Cheers,

Clarissa.
