Thanks @jmlabuac, I tested this in my sandbox project and was able to replicate it; you are correct, the link is not available in the new issue view. You can turn off the new issue view by clicking your avatar icon in the bottom left corner, select personal settings, and scroll down to Jira Labs. You can also submit a…

Hi, There are over 900 applications available in the Atlassian Marketplace for Confluence, you can search through them here: Marketplace In all honesty, I doubt anyone in the Community would be able to say if there is a single app or combination of apps that would do all of the things you are looking for. Your best bet…

Hi @Deepa Sharma, There are a couple of suggestions on the radar for Atlassian, you can find them via the links below and, if you like, vote for them to increase the level of attention they get. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-66612 https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-66978 Hope this helps, if so please…

Hi @jmlabuac, Are you using a next-gen project? (You tell by looking at the bottom of the left hand navigation frame; it will say "You're in a next-gen project" if so.) Next-gen projects use their own workflows that are different from classic projects, and the view does not include the "view workflow" link. If you open a…

Hi @Svetlana Kinzerskaya, In a typical Scrum or Sprint, development and QE are part of the overall process and are not separated out. During story grooming would add the testing as part of the overall points for the story. I can see, however, how this could cause confusion when one needs to track testing as a separate…

Hi @Sue Marcum, There is a whole bunch of information on getting started in the documentation, I suggest you start here: Getting Started. There are also a number of third-party vendors that specialize in helping new users set up their Jira instances to best fit their needs. TBH, your question is too broad to address in a…

Hi @Arthur Csertus, As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- said, there is no way to "pause" the instance. To save costs you could deactivate all of the users except the site-admins to maintain the project in the Cloud while it is on hold. (Note...Deactivate the users, do not delete them. If you remove them completely it could cause a…

Happy New Year! My favorite posts or questions on the Community are the ones about applying PM and Scrum principles to the Atlassian toolkit. What's an Epic? What's a Story? How do I manage my Releases? For that matter, what's a Release vs. a Component? I've met lots of PMP's, Scrum Masters, and others with an entire…

Hi @Bernd Anderer, You can't do this with Jira out of the box, but there are several add-ons that will. I've never evaluated any of them, so I suggest you search the market place for "Clone project" and review the applications there. -Scott

I think I can do this in 2019....we'll find out in the next Advent Calendar.

I'm a big fan of The Wheel of Time. My theory is that Jordan planned to follow the typical 1970s-80's trend of publishing the story as a trilogy, followed by a second trilogy and end at Load of Chaos. But, after realizing the world-building potential he was getting into (and the increasing popularity of the Fantasy genre)…

I just finished Warbreaker...I've had my head in the Cosmere all year.

For all the SciFi/Fantasy fans... If you haven't read "The Kingkiller Chronicles" by Patrick Rothfuss you really should. The main story is three books, two have been published (The Name of the Wind and The Wiseman's Fear. The world is anxiously awaiting the third and final book, Doors of Stone and hoping the author doesn't…

@Monique vdB I thought the same, then decided that I probably wouldn't be the one "going for help" and thus would be in no shape for a steak dinner afterwards.

Hi @Angélica Luz! How does this work in a server or data center environment where you buy blocks of users? (Asking for a friend.) -Scott

@Jack Brickey I love finding new wood for projects! I have to finish some projects first, though. Once of my dad's friends saved some branches and logs from a hemlock tree that fell on his property, I made him this as a "thank you." (Hint...the best way to get a handmade pen is to send me a block of wood 2" by 2" by 5"…

Hi @Marisa Randall, I'm assuming you added the stories after the new sprint became active. If so the increase is reflecting additional scope added to the sprint after it started, and thus shows you already behind. If you want to just add the stories that did not finish to the next sprint then you will need to do so before…

Hi @Dharma Ramos, I have a question for you...when the plan editor left the company did you deactivate the account or delete it? If you deactivated the user account you may want to try using your System Admin powers to activate the account and log in as that user (I think this is doable in the server version; as a Cloud…

Hi @Kristin Cruz, If an add-on application is adding a user when it is installed then you should assume that the user is needed by the application to perform the tasks programmed into it. Removing the user would most likely cause the application to fail. Your best course of action would be to ask the support people for…

Is it bad that I'm still a huge fan of rickrolling? It's an old gag, but worth it. Rickrolling Wikipedia

Yes, that is what I was suggesting...a project per milestone. I tested this in my sandbox projects, here are some samples... I created a filter: project in (PMTEST, PMTEST2) ORDER BY created DESC I then created a new Scrum board using the new filter and started a sprint. (Note the issues from the two projects) I added an…

I'm glad it helped. A quick clarification though...You can create boards with issues that are from multiple projects, and from multiple versions; boards are based on filters, so they are very flexible. You cannot, however, associate an issue in one project with a version in another; rather each project will have it's own…

Hi @Hsn, I'd use versions to track your milestones. That would free up Epics for features, keeping them chunks of development work that are larger than a story, have several stories/tasks with subtasks associated, and cross sprints. Generally speaking, the team that is doing this currently is using what I would consider a…

My neighbors call us the crazy cat people, and I suppose they have good reason. I have 5 house cats and, depending on the day, a colony of up to 6 ferals I take of that live around my garage. Here are the house cats: Sophie is the newest...we found here in the garage with a broken leg, took her in to foster her while she…

Too late, @Meg Holbrook, the Destruccto5000 has had it's say. You'll just have to see if the CreataronV3 makes an appearance in the Advent Calendar.

The 2018 Advent Calendar directed me here to select the one food item I'd never serve at Christmas (again), and after reading these posts, I'd also remove it from the menus around the world forever... My first thought for a horrid food item was haggis; but as awful as it sounds I wouldn't was to deprive an entire culture…

Hi @fida Alou, Jira does not do this out of the box, you would need an app like Aha! or Woises to create product road maps. Hope this helps, -Scott

Hmmm.... This may not be it, but you mentioned that you are not an admin for this instance...Do you have "Edit" permissions for the projects you are linking to? I wouldn't think it was a permissions issue, but it doesn't hurt to check. -Scott

I'm referring to an epic link on the page, not via the page properties. Your screen shot suggests that TIS-70 is attached to the page already with an epic link,...What happens when you select a project? -Scott

Hi @Brian Botelho, I am assuming that the issue "TIS-70" an epic that is already linked to that Confluence page. If so, Confluence will only allow you to link additional issues created from the Create Jira Issue macro to that epic. There was a request to change this earlier this year, but Atlassian decided not to implement…
