@John McKiernan - You and the team are FANTASTIC!!! This is definitely going to be invaluable!!! Thanks so much!!

Hi Martin - Do you have to use Remote Desktop to connect? Can you not just connect via the web browser outside of remote desktop?

Hi Martin - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Is that the only board you go to that gives you and error? What type of project is it - Next-gen? Classic? It might be a problem with the underlying filter for the board. Can you execute that filter by itself with no problems?

Hi Amandine - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Both the Dashboard and underlying filters for the gadgets must be shared with the Team for them to see them. 

Hi Iwona, You should be able to create as many Dashboards as you like. The filters used on the dashbaords will determine what data is displayed. And dashboards can be shared so that only certain people can see them. 

Hi Nico - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, you should be able to do that. Just make the user inactive in the User Management settings before inviting new ones. Your limit with Free should be 10 Active users. The best thing is try it and see. :-)

Hi Dale, No, the ranking system used by the boards is very complicated, and I confess I don't really understand it. But one thing I have noticed is that the ranking seems to somehow be tied to when the card first comes onto the board. Not sure that is really correct or that I could prove it, but that's how it appears to…

So, does that solve what you need? 

Okay - thanks!

And did you try this? See if you can go straight to the list of Dashboards here: https://yourcompany.atlassian.net/secure/ConfigurePortalPages!default.jspa?name= But replace yourcompany in the URL above with your instance. 

Is there a dropdown that shows up to the right of the Dashboards option in the list when you hover over it?

I don't actually use Server, so not much help there to check on it. I know others have simply made the board a Kanban board instead of Scrum and it seemed to work for them. 

* Go to Project Settings > Project Automation (on left-hand menu) * Press Create Rule in top-right corner * Select the Trigger "Issue Created" and press Save * Next Select to add an Action, and choose "Edit Issue" * Select the field Label * Select the options icon (3-dots) - and choose "Add/remove values" * Enter the value…

Hi George - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You can't hide the menu options from the User, but you CAN control what projects, dashboards and issues the user can see if they click on one of those. That is all handled by the permission schemes attached to the project, or the how the dashboards or filters for boards are…

Hey Gary, You always have to have a catch all as the bottom Swimlane, You can filter everything out in the Swimlanes above it so that nothing ever gets there. But you can't move the catchall above any other Swimlanes. 

Hi @chandnic - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You need to change the Permission Scheme for that project and limit the Browse project permission to only the users you want to see the issues on that project. 

Hi Tom, You could try: by membersOf(jira-users) You could sub out jira-users for a particular group that is smaller, but it is still not going to show you the user name or ID. But then you could add a gadget to a Dashboard that might show what you are looking for. Save your filter first. Then add the Two Dimensional Filter…

Hi Brent, You are going to need some type of add-on, either JMWE, ScriptRunner or Automation For Jira. Any of them will work. You can see this previous post as some guidance. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-add-watchers-using-post-function-without-scripting/qaq-p/1224981

Hi Narendra, If it is a custom field, you can edit the configuration to only share it with the one project. Go to Settings > Issues > Custom fields Once you search for your Custom field, click on the 3 dots and choose: Contexts and default value Then click Edit Configuration Then go all of the way to the bottom and select…

Any way, if you are good now, can you click on the Accept Answer button to close this one out?

That's interesting. Is there a difference in the issue types that you are using for the Classic project versus what you were using for the Next-gen project? We get this question a lot about adding Next-gen project issues to sprints so I am curious about what is different. 

The permission helper is not dependent on how often the sprint changes. You can run it at anytime. It only takes a few seconds. Have you tried to run it?

Hi Jenn - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Try this: issuetype in (subTaskIssueTypes()) AND parentEpic in (xxx-97) OR "Epic Link" in (xxx-97)

Hi Tim - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! So if I understand correctly, you have two custom fields with the exact same name? If so, that's going to get you in trouble at some point - maybe now hahaha. Is there no reason that you can't slightly change the name of one of the fields? Add a period at the end or something,…

Hi Brian - Welcome to the Atlassian Community! It might be that the global permission for bulk changes is not set. Got to Settings > System > Global Permissions. Then look for the Make bulk changes permission to see who can make those. Once that is set, you should be able to follow the article above. 

Hi Alec, Using Automation For Jira you should be able to set the value in the Approver field (i.e. add a user to that field) when the Product field is updated to identify which product is being requested. 

Yes, you can do that, as long as you do not have a condition on the transition to Done for the task that prevents that. I would suggest you create a couple of test tickets and just walk them through the board as desired and see if/where it doesn't work as you want it to. 

That's certainly fine. You just won't be able to do much modification to the board. :-)

Great! Glad it is working for you now. :-)

Check the sub-filter on the All Teams board to see if it is further filtering out the issues somehow.
