Hi @shalini_kulkarni -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I do not believe you can do that with out-of-the-box JIRA cloud. There are probably some marketplace add-ons that can do it, if you want to buy them. If you have any dashboard gadget add-ons, you could probably build filters to show separate velocities. As a…

Hi @Mirjam -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! There is no built in way sum up the sub-tasks to the parent. You can use the automation features to implement this yourself. Here are a couple of links to get you started:…

Hi @Zara That gadget is supposed to use the estimate for the board. Looking at some other community posts, there could be some caching of settings. Have you tried to remove the gadget, confirm your board settings, and then re-add the gadget? Best regards, Bill

Hi @Dionei Piazza Quick question: how will you know when an issue is in active time (touch time)? If you can determine this by team working hours and the status of work items, you can build this yourself using the automation rules which are now included with JIRA Cloud. Here is a overview, how-to: * Learn about the…

Hi Paul, I also find the placement of moved items distracting...as a work-around, I end up quickly selecting/de-selecting quick filters to reset the view to the top. And, I created a suggestion for the ability to sort board contents independently of the backlog. Take a look…

Sorry, I missed that you were on Server version. Here is the document for that version, including the link delete trigger: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/triggers-993924804.html

Hi @Patricia Paguio For your question (3) about reducing spacing, have you tried the smart value Replace() function to see if there are any extra embedded CR/LF that you can remove? Please look here for information on the function: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-text-fields/ Best…

Hi @Richard DD -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! Yes, logging for somethings could be improved for JIRA... Until then, you could add an automation rule to find this information: * Trigger: sprint created * Action: send an email to someone about who triggered the rule, {{initiator.displayName}} To learn more about…

Hi @Guy Grinberg To back up a bit: what is the problem you are trying to solve? I am asking because perhaps starting with a triggering issue when the sprint field changed is not helping solve the problem. Maybe there is a different trigger to use, such as scheduled rule. Thanks, and best regards, Bill

Hi @Bhargava Gade -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! You could try the automation rules to set the fields once the sprint starts. Maybe something like this: * Trigger: sprint started * Branch: for the issues in the sprint * Action: edit the Start Date, setting it to {{sprint.startDate}} * Action: edit the ???, setting…

Hi @Patricia Paguio For your question (1), it appears number formatting was recently added. This works for commas: {{issue.story points.format("###,###,###")}} Best regards, Bill

Hi @Paul Adkin -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! Short answer: you cannot do this with out-of-the-box JIRA at this time. There is an old request for this for cloud version, which product management indicates they are not considering at this time... https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-24152 If you have a…

Hi @Mike Hague No, there is not yet. There are a couple of active suggestion requests to do so. Please look at these and vote for any if you are interested. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-43719 https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-69489 Best regards, Bill

Hi @Atifa Fahmeen -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! I believe this will return the issue types and their attributes. Substitute your company's URL and project name. MyCompanyURL/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=MYPROJECT&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields Please look here for more information:…

Hi @Michael Salazar Are you noting the selection page which lists the issues you want to select for update? If so, my understanding is that page shows the fields which are selected in the filter's view. Try changing the selected fields, repeat the bulk operation, and see what happens. Best regards, Bill

Hi @[deleted] Have you tried to use the sprint start/end dates as conditions, and then only proceed for the latest one? For example, checking if {{sprint.endDate}} is in the future (after today). Please look here for more sprint, smart value attributes:…

Hi @David Stokes Yup, it is a challenging whenever people are put in the difficult position of being on more than one team. Especially agile teams, where divided focus/loyalty leads to becoming a blocker-generator...through no fault of their own. Be that as it may... You could solve this by building a generic Kanban board,…

Hi @Jerome R. Anderson -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! Of the fields you are trying to write, Assignee could be null, right? Consider running your filter by hand in JIRA to confirm by your record count where the problem occurs in the result set. If Assignee is the issue, add null handling for it and any relevant…

Hi @Mr Stone Short answer: no. Longer answer and work-around: Some of the JIRA fields only display on the view once there is a value. A work-around is to set a default value for the field. That does not sound ideal for the case of links. There are several suggested improvements to make this better, including this one which…

Hi @urban.marklund Would you please post an image of what you are seeing? Thanks! Best regards, Bill

Hi @Jakob KN I did not find the name of the transition in any of the smart value documentation from Atlassian. You could try to find a representative issue which was transitioned, and then use the REST API to find if such a smart value exists. Here is the how-to guide for that technique:…

Hi @Martin Koisser There is no JQL to find this for out-of-the-box JIRA. If you have one of the marketplace addons like ScriptRunner, you can do this with their "commented" function. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Muskan Shaikh You cannot create a report like that with out-of-the-box JIRA. It would require pulling data from logs for individual stories and sub-tasks, and joining them to roll-up the changes over time. There may be marketplace add-ons to do this, so consider searching there also. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Anja Dold What are you seeing work or not work? Looking at that posting regarding estimates, there appear to be some typos in the JSON. So, if you directly copy/pasted that, check for errors in the field names. Best regards, Bill

Hi @cc0682 -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! Rather than trying change the value, why not access the name attribute? * {{issue.priority}} is the integer * {{issue.priority.name}} is the string representation of it And if you are looking for conditional logic, you could try the if-then-else structure. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Karthick Mohanram -- Welcome to the Atlassian community! There is already a backlog item for Code Barrel folks (now part of Atlassian) to add this. You can see it here. Looks like the last update to the backlog item was about a year ago. https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-134 Best regards, Bill

Hi @Alan Leidner I do not know a way to do this, and I searched the Atlassian and old Code Barrel backlogs and see no suggestions for this. Consider writing a suggestion to see how much interest there is for this feature: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/ Best regards, Bill

Certainly, and I am glad it worked for you! I used some HTML syntax to form the list: * means it is an un-ordered list. The closing tag ends the list. * * means it is a list item. * <a> is used to add a hyperlink, where href is the URL reference, and the text in the middle is what to show for it...in place of the URL. In…

Hi @Synergy Administrator I am unclear what problem you are trying to solve. Would you please clarify? The dates you note (task start, completion, etc.) are information logged for an item, or in attributes such as resolved date. If you include them in your filter results, they will display. Please see this documentation…

Hi @Joao Borges Just a couple of questions to help the community give you ideas: * What are you seeing on the board now? * You indicate your board has 2 columns. Are those the only columns? If so, I'm unclear how that can work when the leftmost column for a board is associated with "not started" work, and the rightmost…
