Hi @Alex Ball There are suggestions in the Code Barrel backlog to detect sprint scope changes as a trigger, and Jira backlog to do so with JQL: * https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-703 * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75868 I believe there is a ScriptRunner function to detect scope changes, if you have…

Hi, and thanks for clarifying the tool. I haven't used that tool before, but I did find something that seems like what you are asking about for multiple projects in WBS Gantt's documentation: https://ricksoft-support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WGFJKB/pages/445677708/How+to+manage+resources+across+multiple+projects

Hi @Jivesh Adlakha -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! What add-on product are you using for Gantt charts? Knowing that will help the community give you ideas. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Filipe Is this for a Next-Gen project, or do you have any Next-Gen projects in your instance? If so... We recently encountered a defect where Status evaluation with WAS does not evaluate correctly due to the way status was implemented for Next-Gen. This defect does not impact all sites. The work-around is to find the…

Hi @Nick Vanduyne -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Adding on to what Andrew suggests, once you have a filter which spans the different projects, you could create a Kanban board for the filter, showing the progress of the items. Use this board as view-only, updating the items on their source project boards. Best…

Hmmm... Do you mean 100+ distinct custom fields or 100+ values in the custom field (different customer names and numbers)?

Doug, this sounds like you have uncovered a defect to log. ;^) I am running as a project admin when I run the rule (when this worked), and don't have site admin to confirm your findings. And I did not see this symptom in the Code Barrel or public Jira Cloud backlogs. __Bill

Ivan, I am glad to hear it appears to be working, and... Just to confirm what I was describing: the way the rule appears in the editor does not guarantee execution order when there are branches. Once you reach the point of a branch, anything inside of the branch gets queued to execute independently. The documentation…

Hi @Ana-Rita Silva You may do this with an automation rule, triggered on the changing of the first field to then update the other. Here is some information to get you started, and a library of example rules:…

Hi @Yemi Adebisi -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The default release view is a bit confusing, and there are suggestions to improve it. What you are seeing is: * Upon entering the releases view, they are shown in release order, with the next release (by creation date, not release date or number) at the bottom * When…

Thanks for that image of the rule. Just to check, is this working as you expect? Branches run asychronously and so do not necessarily complete before the following steps, leading to timing issues in rule execution. The 3rd task you are creating is *outside* of the branch, and so it is unclear what the value of "most…

Ivan, would you please post an image of your rule? That may provide some context for the community to help you on this next question? Thanks! __Bill

I am glad that worked for you, Christine. Please consider marking this question as answered; that will help others with similar ones find solutions faster. Thanks!

Hi @Christine Robert -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The answer depends on what you mean by "by quarters". I am assuming you are using NextGen projects as you reference Story Point Estimate. (Classic projects use Story Points.) This will return the list of the issues, ordered by resolution date. To use this,…

Hi @Ivan Donigevich Yes, and... to the suggestion from @Kian Stack Mumo Systems Create Variable has some limits for scoping, so if you create a variable inside of the branch it may not have a value elsewhere in the rule. As a work-around you may want to create the variable and assign it to {{createdIssue.key}} before you…

Hi @Charan goud I also wish we could vote on those items in the Code Barrel backlog too. Regarding the REST API to log work, I have not done that but it seems to be supported in the REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/#api/2/issue-addWorklog And if you want to continue to log the…

Hi @Charan goud That is not possible yet. Here is the suggestion to add the capability to log work on behalf of another person: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1736 Best regards, Bill

Hi @Doug Levitt Would you please provide your entire edit of Start Date for some context? When I tried these they worked for me: * {{initiator.timeZone}} * {{now.convertToTimeZone(initiator.timeZone)}} * {{issue.created.convertToTimeZone(initiator.timeZone)}} * {{issue.DevStart.convertToTimeZone(initiator.timeZone)}} (a…

Hi @P I do not believe there are any built-in gadgets that will report the information you request. There may be better user management reporting for purchase in the Jira marketplace. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Rajesh Viswanathan To help this discussion, would you please clarify: * What do you mean by "flow value"? * What do you mean by "integrate in Jira board"? Thanks, and best regards, Bill

Indeed! Something I learned over the years is when another developer calls you to their desk to see some "cool and clever code", reach over their shoulder and press "delete" :^) Such code is often brittle and usually unmaintainable...especially once you forget how you got it to work in the first place. (e.g. Base-36…

Hi, Luis. I have not done that myself with EazyBI, but I was just reading a post yesterday and looking at the documentation for how to do the date/time diff for a calculated member. Once you have the date/time fields you should be able to do this. If you search in a browser you should see examples for posts in the…

Hi @luis_araujo To do this with a reportable field, you could add a custom field (e.g. StatusCategoryInProgress) and update it with an automation rule when issues transition into an In Progress status. Then you may use created, resolved, and the custom field to measure duration in all three categories as differences…

Thanks, @Mykenna Cepek Yes, and... * Before you write a new suggestion or defect, check for synonym words with your searches. The issue may have already been logged so you can vote/watch it and focus the value of your community vote. * When writing (or commenting on) a suggestion, please add the business case to help in…

No, that should work for the TO field. Please try this: * Type in the smart value you need in the TO field * It will appear as you type below the field * Select the text they show for the same smart value * Confirm it enters into the TO field as you expect

Thanks for that explanation! You could add a custom user field (e.g. VerifiedBy) and set the value on transition to Verified, using an automation rule. You would then have that user's information when you need it later, either for reporting or other actions.

Hi @Greg Brown -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! This appears to be a known defect: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17598 To delete this board please ask your site admin to contact Atlassian Support: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/ Best regards, Bill

Hi @Tim Clark Just checking... Are you on the Cloud or Server version? This should be doable by triggering on transition, scanning for any other issues with that fixVersion, and checking their status. This may be more difficult if you have more than one value in the fixVersion field. Assuming you have one version, you…

Hi @Kaido Kabral -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! For Automation for Jira, you may send an email with a custom user field using emailAddress. In your example this would be: {{issue.customfield_14506.emailAddress}} Best regards, Bill

Hi @Olivier Dignard -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I do not believe you can do that with an out-of-the-box dashboard gadget, as it would require identifying the user who changed the status from the change logs (and not necessarily the last person to update an issue). Perhaps check the marketplace if you need this…
