@Chase Flinn It does not look like you are giving us any argument that I am wrong, you just seem to be saying "that's not the way I want to work", which is not a problem for me, other than pretending to be Agile when it's not. I think you should re-read and re-watch the links you've posted, they're saying what I am.

Sorry, I was not clear there. Jira has "levels" of issues, for want of a better phrase. The main two in core Jira are "Issues" which can then have "sub-tasks". Both levels can have many types. Scrum usually talks about "Stories". In Jira, these are usually configured as an "Issue" level issue type. You usually see projects…

Again, could you please read the previous posts?

No, I'm not asking Jira users to do any exports, I just think it's a bit of a waste of time doing all that work to extract a "progress" that doesn't really tell you anything of any use. In real life, you'll find your users don't care about progress, they care about the binary "are we there yet?" 10% done or 90% done - both…

Er, you can assign different people sub-tasks. You can't assign a different team because the sub-task is part of an issue that already belongs to a specific team. That's not what sub-tasks are for. When something should be done by a different team, you should have a story for the other team so they can handle it according…

It's the same answer - you need to ask your Confluence server admins why it is dying every week.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The logic behind it is that the four main Jira products are for doing different things. Jira Work Management, Jira Software, Jira Product Management, and Jira Service Management are all intended to support very different types of team. Jira Software boards are the most configurable ones…

@Al Thompson That would be because IQNavigator is not an Atlassian product.

Custom fields are not protected by permissions or other functions, so there's no way to do this. Unless it's really one of the protected system fields (assignee, reporter, versions, etc) or you have something like the Behaviours app that has been configured to protect certain fields. Do you have Behaviours (it's part of…

It's the same answer as it was seven years ago.

Because a partial completion means your team has failed (quite probably for reasons beyond their control). If you allow partial completion as a normality, you are not going to be reviewing why there was a failure, so your team are not going to improve, and you can't measure estimation, capacity, or what your team can deal…

All of the points here are screaming that you are trying to do waterfall project management with a Scrum tool. I would recommend revising what Scrum is and talking to a scrum master about how you plan and estimate during Scrum processes.

Correct, team-managed projects are built and maintained by their teams, so you have to do everything locally, for each project.

No, I'm afraid you do not understand scrum or agile processes here. Carrying over work into the next sprint is a sign that your team has failed in some way, and need to change their process. Whether its a failure to decompose your stories into manageable pieces, your estimation is not right, your team is trying to take on…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The captcha functions do not look at your IP address. Your "content blocked" messages are happening because something on your network is blocking some of the content. I've been able to replicate this by telling one of my ad-blockers to not trust some of Atlassian's IP ranges or domains,…

@Chase Flinn I think you're completely missing the point I am trying to make. Scrum does not have anything to say about sub-tasks, it only talks about sprint items. Jira Software supports Scrum. "Vertical slicing" as you seem to be using the term is not Agile, and it certainly isn't Scrum.

@Chase Flinn - it's the same answer. Stop trying to use a Scrum tool to not do Scrum. Vertical slicing does not work when you are trying to be Agile, because it defeats the point of being Agile (Let alone Scrum)

Try getting it to answer questions on the Community (do not post the answers, the moderators already have enough to do correcting or removing the terrible answers 'bots have been posting) You're going to need to train it on a lot more than 1200 good answers, and bear in mind that you're going to have to continue to train…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Chase Flinn I think you're missing the point of sprints here. They do not assume stories will always fit within a sprint, that is simply what you should be aiming for. Items carrying over into the next sprint means the team has failed to deliver what it said it would, and so needs to…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes and no. No because a page has to have a single unique place in the Space and Page tree. It cannot belong to more than one "parent" page. But yes, because you can use "include" to render other pages in a page. For example: * Page 1* Page 1.1 - Some nice content * Page 2* Page 2.1 -…

Oh, I see, you're looking at ranking, not status. To enable ranking, your board filter must be ordered by rank and nothing else.

I really do mean you need to look at the database settings. I don't know how else to say that you need to configure your database to support your installation as per the Atlassian docs. The XML cleaner is a nice tool for when we migrate between databases or make mistakes. There's no real alternative to it beyond getting…

As @Reese says, a complete backup (snapshot) will work really well.

Your backup should be of the home directory, the installation directory, and the database. You don't need documentation to list them all (it will vary by version and type of installation anyway), just backup all three areas. When you run the installer to do the upgrade, it will tell you which files you have modified away…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! No, you can not do this. Plugins are added to Jira, not to projects. The code in a plugin names it with a set of class names, and you can not use the same class names in a Java application for the same thing - the class for an app is unique and very rarely changes, so having two versions…

Everything, not just JQL.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I am sorry, but your question does not make any sense. Issue links link issues, not components, and parent/child issue relationships have nothing to do with links or components. So I do not understand what you are looking for.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The gauge is not a field, it is a display coded into the screen you are looking at. As it's not a field, you can't add it to queues or reports. The best you could do is write an app that exposes it as a field, or create a calculated field that displays it with an automation (although…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The answer you have found is for Server/DC scriptrunner, not Cloud. Have a look at https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4jc/latest/features/scripted-fields to get started writing your own Cloud scripted fields.

It is important to understand that sub-tasks are not sprint items, they are pieces of sprint items. It is nonsense to have sub-tasks in different sprints, they are in a sprint because they are part of a story that is in a sprint.
