What app are you using for this? (If you are not using an app, then you'll need to talk to your admins about how they've set this up)

My guess would be that you have set up the field without a "searcher" then. Go edit the field from admin -> issues -> custom fields, and make sure a searcher is selected.

Changeitem is at the heart of Jira because it is an issue tracker. Changeitem is tracking changes to the issues. So * No, because a change to an issue should be recorded as it happens. If that changes later, you are destroying the tracking function * Mostly no, because it is an issue tracker. Issue deletion is the only…

We can't tell you much from that, other than Jira has had a problem with something. Could you look at the application log for the full error? Should be in <jira home>/logs/atlassian-jira.log

No. The REST API assumes you have set the fields as mandatory for a good reason and obeys the rules you have set.

There are a couple of apps on the marketplace that provide full forum-like functions (Questions for Confluence is more like the community in that it focuses on question and answer style things rather than forums). I'm only familiar with Adaptavist's "Community Forums", but it's worth a look at all of them.

Go to your profile and de-select all the watching options. This will cut you down to only mails about systems you are responsible for and where you have chosen to watch.

Go with what @Yogesh Mude said. I've been an Atlassian admin for a long time. I helped write two of the exams and have edited another three of them. You need to follow the "Atlassian way" to get through these exams. I can argue with some parts of their material (courses and questions), but you need to do it their way to…

A backlog issue, is, by definition, something that might need attention that you have not looked at properly. I'm not saying you won't look at it properly, or that you won't refine it, but your backlog really is just a list of stuff you might consider as "stuff that might need doing". Things you do do with backlog items…

A post-function is not a listener. Post-functions get the "issue" object, but listeners are listening for "events" Try event.issue() instead.

What do you mean by "change management Jira"? Please bear in mind this community is millions of people who use a lot of Atlassian applications, and we really have no way of knowing what "change management Jira" is to you. My password safe contains access to several hundred different Jira installations, many of which are…

That's not what the installers do. I'm afraid I am lost here, as you're describing a scenario that I can't replicate because it simply does not work this way. On your second install though, yes, I recognise that. It's because you've not fully removed the previous install (I'm guessing you are installing on Windows, as that…

Yes and no. Atlassian Cloud (which can include a Jira system) is Software as a service. But you can also get Jira for Server or Data Center, to run yourself, not as a 3rd party service.

Jira can act as a place to record updates and hence provide reports to people, but it can't make your engineers put things into it. You will need to educate them to put in the data you build your reports from, make it part of the job (some places do it in a very blunt way - making the reporting part of people's objectives…

Actually, not really. Confluence upgrades and migrations are incredibly simple from 4.x to latest, and there's hardly anyone left using lower versions - we do maybe two 1/2/3.x upgrades a year and the frequency of that is in decline (last couple of years has been 3, but 2019 is down to 1). I'm sorry, but it's simply not…

There isn't one for Cloud. Cloud does not support the functions that such a plugin would require.

What are the symptoms of "nothing happens"? Could you walk us through exactly what you are doing and what JSD returns to you on each click/entry?

NO! Do NOT run Confluence as root, it is a massive security hole, even inside a "closed" network. You should either use a proxy, or use the setuid to run it with limited privileges.

The best thing to do here would be to have a select list that contains all of your customers (for the humans, it would be better to name them, rather than use a serial number that we'd then have to look up). A select list does not work so well if you have a large number of customers though. If you do have a long list, then…

Your connection details for the database connection are wrong. "Login failed" means "you can't log in here because your username/password combination are wrong". TLDR: give the connection the correct username and password.

The numbers you see in Excel are not a rank, they're a reference to the current line as determined by the current sort and layout. They change if you sort the rows differently, and hence they are completely determined by context (for excel, that's limited to the sort order) They give me no useful information outside the…

If you were on server, it's quite simply standard SQL - "MySQL" is SQL, as is Oracle SQL, PostGreSQL, MS-SQL and the others. (Yes, some of the usage varies, like line endings, cases, server commands etc, but the definition of SQL does not include them. "Select * from X where Y" works across all SQL based databases) But you…

All the ones with EG (sort of) on them are from the Edinburgh Gin company, and while I've had better gin, I would say they are all "better than the mean average", except the one that was aniseedy (I'm not fond of aniseed - Ouzo is not good, and Pernod makes me ill just by opening the bottle. Still better than pineapple of…

You need to add one of: * A post-function that sets the resolution * The resolution field on a tranistion screen To the "mark as closed" transition

I'm afraid your h2 database has failed. This happens a lot, and it's the reason Atlassian tell you not to use it for anything that really matters (dev and test systems can be recreated, no huge loss if they fail) The best you can do is check the "exports" directory for a recent backup, fire up a new installation and import…

Indeed, because you will have no index for the scripted fields, you won't be able to search on them. Some of them will gradually creep back into use - after re-enabling ScriptRunner, every time an issue is updated, the scripted fields will be recalculated, and hence go back into search. This will also happen If you use the…

No, this does not work for Cloud, it does not support the watchers field.

I think you need to ask the admins who set up your workflow why they set the "do not edit" flag on the deferred status.
