Ah good, yes, you need to run this on a machine which has enough memory to hold the operating system plus the maximum heap size you set for both confluence and synchrony (if you want the collaborative editing)

There is no way to do it directly - the gadget is given a list of issues, and asked to display the labels on those issues. If you don't want to see certain labels in there, then you have to remove them, either from the result set, by excluding them completely (and hence losing issues that have other labels), or remove the…

No, plain Jira only has "set a flag for all fields or none" built in, and none of the Cloud apps are currently able to provide anything that can help on Cloud. I'm afraid the only way to do this on Cloud is to have "protected" fields in the workflow. You have to remove the fields you want to protect from the "create"…

You'll need something that can be used to write a new "JQL function". Automation cannot do that, you'll need one of the full Scripting apps to do that (or write your own app) Another option might be a scripted field that simply returns issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf).size() - then you'll be able to say things like "and…

You will need to talk to the admins of the SSO system you are using, to get them to allow password changes from Jira, and look at the configuration of the connector you are using to enable the function in Jira as well.

Do you mean that the person cannot edit the field content for a particular issue? (In which case, could you describe "can not edit" - can't click on the field, error message, changes applied do not persist when saving them, etc?) Or do you mean that they cannot change the "field is required" flag? This is to be expected -…

Or we could just use the software as it is intended to be used, and not set the resolution field until the issue is resolved.

Groups are not generally a widely used thing in issues, so there's not a huge amount of functionality around them. But they definitely can have a lot of uses for some of us. Rather than my usual rambling block of essay, I'll try to focus on your questions for a change. But before that, I want to make it clear that it is…

I sort of agree, I like @Robert Cronk 's suggestion of having a "show when empty" flag for each field, but my "keep it simple" instinct wants to rename it as "throw even more irrelevant wording that people shouldn't have to think about on screen, making an already busy screen worse". I think there's a better option - put…

So, with respect, you're ignoring the accepted definition of bug. Something like "A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways" Jira is not producing an incorrect or unexpected result and it's…

Confluence does not have "folders", but it does nest pages under each other. Go to the space settings and look for the content tools, there's a tab for re-ordering content into a tree which allows you to drag the pages around. Once you've got started on that, you might find the "child pages" macros help you with navigation…

I don't understand what else you are looking for. I can't use the command given for you.

That would be quite a complex tool to write, as the code would have to understand how to read all the configuration to work out what fields are valid before it could check if they were empty. And then running over every issue is going to thrash your system. I don't think anyone would bother to write anything like this - I…

That probably does mean it is not running. I usually look for "java" though, in case you have not used "confluence" in the path name. Go to the <install>/bin directory and try running ./start-confluence.sh - that should start it, or give you an error to work with

Yes, create a new Confluence and import the backup into it. If you need more help with that, check the docs for "restoring from a backup" and then ask here if you get stuck on them.

Jack means the people in the list of possible assignees, not the person trying to select them. In a Service Desk project, the list of possible assignees is limited to people with "assignable user" permission (check the permission scheme), AND they have to be Service Desk Agents as well.

You should start by defining what "integrate" means to you. Then, I would strongly recommend looking in the marketplace to see if there is a Jira App that can help with your specific needs. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=jira&query=HP for example.

Could you explain what this has to do with Confluence?

* As above * Ok * Not a clue what you mean by "sniff pic". As you don't have anything on the page to tell you, you're going to need to ask other users, or the person who asked you to use this Jira.

I use the call at https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-add-an-attachment-to-a-jira-issue-using-rest-api-699957734.html

And?

Yes, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/get-started-with-bitbucket-pipelines-792298921.html

Yeah, that is really odd. As you say: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

It is going to be easier to do this in the UI than with torturous SQL. The short version is "look at the project(s) configuration to see what workflows are in use" The longer version: Run a search that finds all the issues you are interested in and save it (probably something like "status = closed and resolution date is…

Yes, these can be changed, and I'd really appreciate it if they were standardised too. Much as I appreciate the simplicity and speed of a raw unprocessed log, and one log style does not fit all, I do wish the world of computing would at least stick to a single date style. (Anything but a US style date would work - a…

There is a time-tracking panel where the estimate fields appear. You don't really need to add the field to issue view at all.

It is, as you were expecting, a "no". The fields are locked to prevent you making changes that Atlassian do not want to support in Cloud.

Bother, sorry, maybe it was "double" rather than "long"? Best way to debug this is use the "preview" in the script editor. Find an issue that has two or more values for your custom field to use as the example, noting its key, then go edit the script. At the bottom under the script editing box, there's a preview where you…

You cannot get "Jira System Admin" in Cloud, it is reserved for Atlassian only. The highest you can go is "Jira Admin" (and "Site Admin" if you want to let them maintain the whole site - even if the site only includes Jira). To do that, add them to a group that is named for "Jira Admin" in "global permissions"

You need to remove their "browse" access from any project that you do not want them to see. This could be quite a task, as you will probably find things like permission schemes that say "Browse project: Group - any logged in user"
