Ahhh ad blockers of course. I guess I'll have to rewatch while bypassing my Pihole. :-)

Annnnd, I'm still stuck at (3 of 5 completed). :-P

[2:25] "Before you associate new schemes with existing projects, you should perform a system backup." [2:57] "Note at this time in Jira Cloud, you can't restore just one project. You can only do a restore system, which overwrites all data in your cloud site." *Sigh*

Well, for good measure, I've kicked off playing all the videos under Jira Administration Part I (Sure I can watch 23 videos simultaneously. Why wouldn't that be possible? :-) Audio sounds like the best/worst cocktail party ever.

Sorry, I can't remember exactly which videos "counted", but I'm pretty sure I watched all the ones under "Jira Cloud Basics" and also "Tips for new Jira Admins". What's driving me crazy is that I'm now trying to complete Jira Cloud Learning 4, and similarly I'm supposed to watch 5 jira basics video, but I cannot find any…

Yes... it's taunting us.

@David Fischer yes, I meant that tongue-in-cheek since I know JMWE is your baby. :-}

Ok, two tips. They're a bit long to explain, but trust me, they will save you time! (I think.) 1. Chrome auto-completion/substituting Project Keys in URLs for project administration. So I hate clicking around in the UI to get to "Project Settings". As a Jira admin I end up seeing boards or issues that I do *not* care…

So, I'm not exactly sure what your Groovy is doing (because I don't see it checking for "Done"), but ScriptRunner (and all validators) have to use Jira Expressions. So to "Validate that all linked issues are DONE" this should work: issue.links.filter(L => (L.linkedIssue.status.name == 'Done')).length == issue.links.length…

Create a spreadsheet with all 1000 option values in a single column, along with Summary of "DELETE THIS". Save as CSV. Import CSV, populating custom field with contents of that single column. Delete all 1000 issues where Summary = "DELETE THIS"…

Thanks - good to have an authoritative answer on this!

Yeah, I signed up for a thread long before the Friday Finesse challenge existed (but it's not 'til October!), and I've definitely been in the first 10, so not sure what's up with that one.

OHO! Secret link! And... scary. I've found Service Management projects to be most in need of detailed configuration and administration. Making that availlable to "laymen" is frightening to me.

That's funny. @Andrey Legayev came up with a similar solution recently: https://bitbucket.org/andrey-legayev/jira-cloud-force-old-issue-view/src/master/ From here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-70555?focusedCommentId=2755966&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-2755966…

Thanks @Guilherme Leme for the correction. I didn't notice that the forums here replaced the colon. I tried to fix it and it didn't work. They must be trying to block me from embedding malicious code. :-)

Ugh, actually I misread that last post I linked to. It was talking about Start Date and Due Date, but neither are linked to Target Start/End. Those do not appear to be accessible via Automation. On my test Cloud instance, I don't even know where the Start Date field came from. I think it may have been created when I set up…

Apologies. I don't work enough with Roadmaps or Epics, so I think I misunderstood your question. I think this previous answer should do the trick: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-use-Automation-to-set-Epic-s-start-amp-end-date-equal-to/qaq-p/1497229 Looks the fields you'll want to set are…

Hi! So you're using min and max. But I don't think that works with lists, and to be clear, because you can have multiple Fix Versions for an issue, the {{issue.fixVersions}} smart value is a list. And so when you reference startDate or releaseDate, those too are lists. There's some good documentation about this here:…

So you could do this with Project Entity Properties. These are values are stored with your project, so you could have something like complaints-serial, requests-serial, and incidents-serial. It turns out these properties can be accessed by an undocumented Smart Value, like this: {{project.properties.complaints-serial}} You…

Hi @Bryan Darr - sorry, my feedback/questions are a week late, but I have been taking my time watching the sessions. I really appreciate this session, as of course almost everyone is having to start thinking about migrating to cloud. Michael mentioned one benefit can be using Team (self)-managed projects for "Service…

Ah thanks for clarifying. I wonder if in this case you don't need to worry about reindexing, since that's primarily used for speeding up search results. I'm thinking that if you just change a project key, you could immediately do a backup and that backup should have the new key, because I don't believe backups include…

Hi, how are you planning on "doing a migration between cloud instances"? Will you be using the following process? https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/merge-multiple-instances-of-jira-cloud-779160767.html If so, I would change the project key after you've imported the data into Data Center. You'll have more control and…

I probably should take a step back though and ask why you're using custom fields to track time spent, when you could have people use the built-in Time Tracking functionality which does all of this for you: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-time-tracking/ If it's a concern that you want…

Ah, confirmed that Automation already has a built-in "timespent" field. So yes, try putting it in quotes, or using the custom field ID. https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1247

Hrm. I wonder if timeSpent is a reserved word for timetracking. I see various references to it here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-math-expressions/ If that's the case, you might be better off using the Custom Field ID which you can find via the Using URL suggestion…

Automation can't do it. As usual Bob Swift's excellent ACLI (Atlassian Command Line Interface) can. You would use updateProject with --lead parameter. To change in Bulk, you could combine that with runFromProjectList It would be something like: acli --action runFromProjectList --regex "ZJIRACLIPROJECTS.*" \ --common "-a…

Hi Nelly! It would be helpful if you could take a screenshot of your rule so that we can look at the triggers, logic, etc. Additionally, it's always helpful when troubleshooting to liberally use Log action to capture exactly what Smart Values might be doing. That would look something like this:

So the UI is a little wiggy, but when you have a Create issue action you can actually type in the Smart Value in the Project field: (If your field is a select field, you might need to use {{issue."Destination Project".value}})

Snowboarding. Proposal: Bring back Summit at a place with a Summit. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WifVmHdCKu4ASauS8

While there is a {{changelog}} Smart Value that should be able to show you what you're looking for, it unfortunately only works for summary, issuetype, and status. There is an open Improvement request for this: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-407 Alas, we cannot vote for those.
