It's not clear which left nav you mean, a screenshot would help. Also, Jira Server or Jira Cloud? In general you can't change the format of a Jira issue key. You can show the Epic Link or Links fields in the Issue Navigator results List View

Not in the Cloud. Server and not upgrading might work, but is not recommended

That's a useful page with the list of versions. 

4.x was released around 2009, so it's changed a lot. I would expect something like 4.0 to 4.3 to 5.0 to 6.5 to 7.0 to 7.latest. Maybe you can skip the 5.0. Lots of time.

That's a lot of work. Have you considered having an Atlassian Partner do it for you?

Monique, the hair catchers save me a lot of snaking too

Will your analysis ever be public or presented in some way?

Good summary.

That's a good ideas about duplicate issue types. What if there was already one named "Integrity " with a trailing space

 I refer to them as the CSV importer (original) and CSV Importer (wimpy) :)

Is the user running the import the same user that can create those issues in the UI? Could be permissions. The log file from the import may have more details too. Or maybe that issue type has required fields (with *)?

Can you create Integration issues manually with the UI? The issue type has to be in the issue type scheme used by that Jira project

A one paragraph reference to this at https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/advanced-workflow-configuration-776636620.html Experiment safely somewhere!

You can do multiple levels of AND (All) and OR (Any) on conditions. Hover over a condition you have already added and click on the icon for Add grouped condition. Looks like a fork

Bill, I've heard about this book how can I get hold of a copy?

The article is a good summary of all the approaches I've tried. The missing one is talking to your Legal department about data retention and getting their permission to delete old issues. Likely the hardest of all the approaches!

Remember that color is for adding information, and never the sole way to differentiate things. You should be able to print something in black and white and not lose information. Atlassian Design Guidelines and me as a color blind person

It's an internal battle for me, being both

Yeah, I'm a bit messed up, half and half now. Any product that starts with J will be hard for half the world to pronounce. Zheera, Heera, and more. And it's spelled "spelled" not spelt "spelt" :)

Um, it's Center not Centre. Which only proves your point, Nic. I'm going to stick to plugin. Since that's what most of the Marketplace calls them in their documentation.

Good one! Some characters can stop the match from working sometimes though. May also depend on Cloud vs Server

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_issuefieldmatch which requires the ScriptRunner plugin. There may be other plugins that can do this

Hard to get it to light?

Google "jira python" and follow the first hit

You can define conditions in two parts then AND them together. But I'm not sure that standard Jira provides a NOT operator when defining conditions. There may be a plugin that does this, certainly the ScriptRunner custom conditions and validators do

Read all the Upgrade pages with the release notes but I think you should be fine. Of course your license needs to be current and all the plugins should be the updated versions too. 

Is there a way to get an exported PDF file of all the pages in the Guide? It's much faster to read and mark up

Thanks for the recommendation!

https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/jira-sizing-guide-461504623.html suggests you need a minimum of 8GB on the server.
