Hi Dennish, Very curious... I just tried it again in Chrome (81.0.4044.92), creating a new story with a PDF attachment, and I was able to successfully copy the link. When I opened the link in another browser tab, it downloaded the document and then I opened it successfully. When you right-click on the attachment, what are…

Hi @AnthonyV -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, you can link issues, and have various types of links. Please see here for more information: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-core-cloud/docs/link-an-issue/ Best regards, Bill

Hi @Dennis_H I believe you can go to the issue, right-click to copy the link, and send that to people. Have you tried that? Best regards, Bill

Gotcha, and sorry I have not tried that before. I believe you can use the REST API to query. I did a quick search and found this, which includes information on fetching the webhooks: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/webhooks/

Hi @Matias Salinas -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! It appears this is a recently introduced/discovered defect, and you can learn more about the issue here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Business-project-board-quot-Assigned-to-me-quot-showing-all/qaq-p/1340170 Best regards, Bill

Hi @Ruth -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There appears to be an open suggestion to add this feature to Jira Cloud. You can review it here and vote for it as you wish. Add multiple assignee https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17485 Best regards, Bill

Hi @roman smatana Seeing the webhooks is under the system admin functions. Please look here to learn more: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/managing-webhooks-776636231.html Best regards, Bill

Hi @ashley.frost Yes, and...to what John suggested... You may also want to add a custom field checkbox like Abandoned. Then after you filter to gather up the old items for discard, you can bulk change them to discard them, adding a comment to indicate why. Then bulk change again to move them to Done. After the initial…

Hi @Roman Kovalevsky According to this Atlassian post, the control chart for Next Gen will be added some time in 2020: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/whats-new/next-gen#intheworks Best regards, Bill

Hi @Detlef_Daehne -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! With out-of-the-box Jira, you cannot get just the count for a JQL query. There are several marketplace add-ons to support this. What problem are you trying to solve by just getting the count? If you just need a one time count, you could run the query and note the…

Hi @Ricardo Gómez -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! If you go to your Board Settings (top right of page ...) and then select Card Layout, you can add fields like story points. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Daniel Reyzman TL;DR: Sorry, I don’t have any recommended age of WIP tools that I have used with Jira. I haven’t used any of the add-on tools that @John Funk and others note... although the stuff from Nave looks comprehensive and promising. Before buying anything else, please pause to consider the problem the team is…

Hi @Astrid Bogran As noted, please consider your team's requirements and constraints (licensing, cost, complexity, etc.), and then perform an internet search for test automation tools which support Jira integration. This is a common question, so you may want to also search for comparison and decision analysis of test…

Hi @Astrid Bogran -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! It looks like your question was asked and answered by someone else, here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Import-from-TFS/qaq-p/1237834 Best regards, Bill

Hi @eirens I believe you can configure the notification scheme so it only emails when someone is mentioned. Please ask your admin to take a look at the notification scheme settings and how-tos. Best regards, Bill

Yes, that is the feature. It is under your board's settings and your project admin should be able to update it.

Hi @Thomas Güttler For out-of-the-box JIRA, you could change the card colors based upon a filter. That would add a color bar on the left of the item rather than completely draw a border around it. If you just need to focus attention on one label at a time, you could also add a quick filter, and so hide all other items on…

Hi! You may have overlapping result sets with the queries. Remember that JQL is not SQL...it is the vendor's own little language. It is unclear to me that it deterministically follows Boolean algebra rules. Regardless... The way I verified the original defect you saw was to sample some issues, open each one, and review the…

Hi @Josh Seder --- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Well, that is a defect and I was able to reproduce it. There is apparently something special about Done status and CHANGED FROM/TO. It appears you are trying to find all issues in 2019 which jumped from your backlog to done, skipping other workflow steps. I found a…

Thanks! That is good to know about the Next Gen boards. I haven't used those yet.

Hi @Manik Kakkar -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The short answer to your question is: no, there is no built-in way to scroll. If you are using a Chrome browser, there are some add-ons which allow an individual user to collapse and expand columns. I have submitted a suggestion to add this capability to JIRA,…

Hi @craig.mccracken -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The column count constraints are "soft constraints", and only lead to highlighting the column in red color rather than preventing status transition. There may be a marketplace add-on to do this, but I couldn't find one with a search. I also could not find any…

Hi @Mia Maia Smidt When you say that you have filtered the "board to not show completed issues over 2 weeks, but that doesn't work", what are you seeing? We are doing something similar, creating a board quick filter, and then selecting that filter with the CFD report and narrowing the time frame to a month. Our quick…

Hi, Age of WIP (work in progress) is a well known concept to help manage and improve workflow for teams, especially teams using Kanban. Unfortunately, that report is not available with out-of-the-box JIRA. There appear to be several marketplace vendors who have it, and you can check those if you wish. Of note about the…

Hi @Mala Patel Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I took a quick look at the open suggestions related to swimlanes and I didn't see anything like your idea. Please consider adding a suggestion here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD Best regards, Bill

Hi @Minglei Liu Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You may find the bulk change operation for a filter as follows: * Navigate to Issues and Filters * Switch to Advanced Search * Enter and test your query to find the issues you want to change * At the top right, you will see ... and under that is Bulk Change You may also…

Hi @Mohamad_Alhaj_Mohamad I do not believe that you can do that with out-of-the-box Jira, unless you use the API. If you know the average number of issues created per day/week/etc. you could use something like this to get close: project = MyProject AND createdDate >= -10d ORDER BY Key Best regards, Bill

Hi @Johann Velasques Welcome to the community! Have you considered using the Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)? This report can show the number of items in each status over time. Adjusting the filter to include your specific sprint may help, as well as perhaps adjusting the timeframe. Teams can use a CFD to see WIP, lead time,…

Hi @praveena.chenumalla Welcome to the community! On Tuesday, 31 March 2020 is when Atlassian is sun-setting support for IE 11, which you can read about at the article below. My team encountered the same issue; perhaps there was an early release of their changes?…

Hi @Paweł Albecki Thanks for your thoughts. To answer your question, Atlassian could add the missing features to make the product more desirable, cost effective, and stable for customers. Add-ons are...well...add-ons; they add cost to customers monthly, and because they are not part of the core design or solution, they can…
