Automation can only change the issue type if the two types are configured identically. Workflow is the usual blocker we see, but you will need to have the same screen scheme, field configuration, and custom field contexts for them as well.

I'm mostly with you on the "other system" thing. A link to a system outside the current one does make sense to open in a tab or new window. "hey, look at this other thing (that is not owned by us)" works fine for most humans. It is only internal links that it would be stupid to automatically open in new windows. External…

You're right, workflow branching isn't a good idea for larger teams. In these cases you should indeed standardise, or segment. Either stop people having variable workflows (standardise on the best ones that work for you), or let them, but break it up by giving the teams that need to work differently into different projects…

Nothing other than showing them as "in the trash", and dropping them from search results. As @Mikael Sandberg says, it makes no changes to the issues until the full delete happens.

Ranking is a team thing. Every issue in a system can be put into an order (mostly "what to consider next"), but the point of a board is that issues are ranked by the team the board represents. If a team decides an issue should be at the top of the backlog, they move it there. If they think it should be at the bottom, they…

Yes, that looks right to me, but the error message is about a second sprint, so there is something looking for another sprint for some reason. Very quick check - from your screenshot, click on "backlog" and make sure you start at the top of it. Is it showing a single sprint at the top of the backlog? I am hoping it does,…

There is no way to do this as a workflow - Jira's workflows are flat, not layered, there's nothing that could do your "stations". But you can build something that will enable reporting and even boards for different stations. First, build a workflow from all of your status. The "stations" won't matter until you start…

"Products" should be a link in the top level horizontal menu. From the top of your screenshot, I would expect to find Atlassian Administration | test-guava | Overview | Directory | Products | <others> I always miss the options in there, and always start looking in the left-side panel, you're not alone!

You remove the fields you don't want people to edit from the "edit" screen for the issue type, then edit the workflow, adding looped transitions that use a screen that does have the fields. You add them to any status that you want to allow fields to be edited. Looped transitions go back to where they started, they don't…

Yes, that was clear from your question. You need to stop using "and labels !=X and labels !=Y" in the filter.

Jira does not track that, you will need to look to the access logs to see when people are using the issue navigator.

I said to the top right of the issue display, not the middle under the summary. The actions menu is the other ... at the top right of your screenshot.

Again, you can't sync the databases. Two separate instances run separately. Even if one is "read only", it's going to be doing different things than the other, and hence the data is going to be different. Trying to jam data from the other one into it is going to be an absolute nightmare. You can't just copy a row from a…

You will need to change the automation such that it adds options to the field, not just write one. I ran into this myself, and there's a good answer at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Setting-a-multi-select-field-with-Automation/qaq-p/2053912

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There is no "block" in Jira, it works in a mostly permissive way. You don't block access, you allow it. What you need to do is take away whatever permission is letting people see stuff they should not. Jira is mostly open by default, and does it by having permission schemes that include…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There are three ways you get to create and edit content in a Confluence system, and it's layered through three levels. The permissions layers are that: * You access Confluence (not necessarily log in) * You have edit rights in the space * The page you're working with is not restricted…

There's a good sample script at https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/create-a-confluence-page-for-each-subtask-of-an-issue - changing it to work off something other than sub-tasks shouldn't be too hard.

No, I've spent a lot of my career as a technical author, albeit part time, slotted in between Atlassian admin stuff), and most of that was Confluence based. I'm coming at this from the point of view of both reader and author. I'm not dismissing your use case, I'm just pointing out that Confluence doesn't do it because most…

This implies that your database is not working. What type of database are you using?

The content includes comments, so if you wanted to code for this, you'd have to make it even more complex if you wanted to drop them, and you'd still have the problem that the two Confluences would not be the same. The only feasible way to do this is with a database dump.

There is no way to do this. Apps can modify or add new functions to Confluence in all sorts of ways, and there's no generic way to work out how they are being used. Some provide macros, some add functions, some change searching, some change users, some do admin, and so-on. Some apps do some self-tracking, which you may be…

I don't need to repeat the other answers, but there can be a problem technically with plugins "clashing". If an app provides classes or functions with the same name as another app, or tries to inject UI changes into the same place as another, you can get problems. However, it is unlikely to happen, and the two times I've…

I think the only way to do this would be to transform your XML into some that looks like a Confluence space export, and then import it. The best thing I can think to do is create a new space, edit the new home page, putting the page property macros you want to see on it, and export the space to XML. You should be able to…

That's a massive amount of work that won't capture everything, and leave your target Confluence in a different state. It will be close, as you say it's "read only", but still not quite right. Forget databases, with Atlassian stuff, it's all-or-nothing (or a massive amount of coding). As your target is read-only though,…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Apps inject varying amounts of stuff into the Jira UI - some give you loads of links and entire new forms, others don't touch the UI and work in the background. We need to know which app it is so we can see where on that range it is. I think the questions I want to ask are * Which app is…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Short answer is "use the REST API" But we could talk a lot more if you told us what automation tools you are thinking of, and what you actually want from an "integration" with Jira and the Xray app for it.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I'm afraid you are stuck at the moment - the ability to go up (or down) the licenced user number tiers in server was withdrawn a year or so ago.

Yes I have no information about your server, so I will have to generalise a bit, but the starting place is <jira home>/logs/atlassian-jira.log The other files in that directory may help too, but <jira install>/logs/catalina.out is the next to move on to (and then the other stuff in there)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I am sorry to tell you that the project types are now so different, you can't flip them in Cloud in most cases. We now have to create new projects of the desired type and move our issues into them (which was not a nice thing to do, but at least has not got worse)

I'm afraid that answer was written by a chatGPT 'bot that has no understanding of Confluence. It has been turned off now, but I would recommend asking the same question again - a lot of answerers won't look at questions that appear to have answers.
