There is a regex you can change to allow other definitions of project keys, but using numbers is likely to break something else in Jira. I don't recommend doing that. Instead create a custom field and store this info there. Or in the project description.

* Setting other people's expectations for when I will usually be working. For example, it's ok to tell people you don't read email outside work hours * Setting my own expectations about not working at home is the harder part, but still necessary. For example, it's ok to decide that you're not going to work outside your…

That setup is impressive. I've got monitoring envy now. The collaboration graphs are interesting in particular. I've found that using Jira agile boards with multiple Jira projects in a board is tough to scale well from a sprint permissions point of view.

There's been some discussion about running on in July, no dates yet

To be clear, it seems that this is a Chrome crash, not Jira or Jira Portfolio

I never knew that existed. A bit spooky for me

And I see what you did in the third photo with the recursive reference to the fourth photo!

That nose licking one is funny!

Daniel, it's my understanding that load-balanced LDAP servers don't work with Jira either, or at least that incremental syncs fail. May have changed?

" it's just too hard to administer these tools" - no harder than many tools I'm afraid There is no "make it secure" button in any app, just many ways to end up insecure. Encryption at rest would be good in the long term I agree Antivirus - do you mean the content uploaded to issues and pages?

Sure, but do it with a copy of the database on your staging server. Don't touch prod until you know you've got all the steps right

A good place to start is https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/upgrading-jira-applications-938846936.html 1. Yes, db backup or XML if small. Copy file attachments too. 2. The Jira plugin manager can do that if you can reach marketplace.atlassian.com from your Jira server. Most importantly, do all this in staging…

That's quite the post. Good luck with whatever is next. My advice to my children which now guarantees eye-rolls: "Only boring people get bored" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proverbial_phrases

I think I would use a Jira select custom field and then change it to use autocomplete, so users can type ahead and be prompted with different options for the field value. I've done this for a few thousand values. The set of options is downloaded to the client so autocomplete s fast to run but does take a little while…

Good summary, thanks

Excluded term runs a text search that excludes the given string. Text fields Not refers to fields' values, finding a field with a value that is not that string, number, option. That is, text fields and other field types

"lice action" being the Freudian underwear for "live action"

Generally not a big fan of the lice action remake concept. But then I'm still recovering from hearing Piglet with an American accent in the cartoon years ago.

That's useful, particularly for the admin implementing the workflow. I've seen spreadsheets that listed all the source statuses and their transitions, one per row but this is more compact for smaller numbers of statuses. In each cell you could list in some way conditions, validators, post functions and the transition…

That's annoying. Where were you when this happened? To understand the problem I would expect Atlassian would want Steps to Reproduce, Expected Result and Actual Result

I'd use a custom validator, probably written using ScriptRunner

Odd. I would think it makes it easier to tell different laptops apart.

Log files are where applications write messages about themselves. You can control what messsages are written out Profiling is messages about which part of an application are being used

Good points. Most of my "work" is "play for money"

Good to hear! 

Three things I tell high schoolers you need in a job: 1. Getting paid enough 2. Being able to do it, or learn how to do it 3. Want to get out of bed each morning and do the job For me and number 3, it's helping people use tools such as Jira better, and solving interesting technical problems. Then teaching people about the…
