I found a couple of posts in the spam bin, put there by the robots, I've undelete a couple of them.

Yes, my comment was in reply to a post that has been removed, presumably because someone or something identified it as a 'bot.

What software? Why do you think you have to kill it to turn off your machine?

Atlassian stuff works fine over a *secure* VPN. They are never going to try to make it work over an insecure one such as the ones you vaguely suggest.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There's not a lot you can do here, other than improve your build process, so that it runs faster. Most of us do that by fixing it, but another option would be splitting it so that there are two jobs, arranged sequentially, the second one being triggered by a successful run of the first.

There's no way you can do that. The variables on issues do not include a dynamic "current" value, because there is no such thing. You can't write a function for it in Scriptrunner, because a function can't know what the settings of the board are.

A board is a view of a selection of issues defined by the filter. You say "the filters can't prevent issues from appearing in all boards " - yes, that's exactly what the filters are for - showing issues.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Trello does not record changes of permissions and accounts, so there's no way to do this. You'll need to talk to your admins.

No, they do not "work in tandem", and there's not really a way to sequence them either (neither "runs first", they run when needed). They are very different things. A condition is checked every time you view an issue (or try to bulk-edit it to do a transition). If the condition is failed, then you do not get offered the…

Yep, this was fixed for CMPs a while ago.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! What does this have to do with Confluence? Assuming your code is trying to log into Confluence, why is it trying to do captcha work? That only happens when you've failed to log in too many times, at which point, you should not be trying to automate any log in. Even assuming there's a…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The error message could be caused by three different problems, although they could all be summarised by "your user does not have access to the project" The root causes could be * There is no project with the key you are asking for * Your application has not logged into the Jira system *…

There is a flaw in the reporting in Jira, in my opinion. It is right that sub-tasks are not sprint items, they are only "in a sprint" because the issue of which they are a part are in a sprint. But they do not inherit their sprint from their parent in Jira, so we can't search or report on the, being in there. So, unless…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You can use the "move" option (in the actions menu) to move the issue. Issue type is a structural thing, so Jira needs to ask or warn you about a couple of things when you want to change the type, hence the need to "move" rather than "edit". The move function will ask you about project…

If you use the REST API to read the data, you do not care what the tables are. When you used the API to extract the data, it will have returned the actual data, not tables or information. Nor will it have given you a "list of objects", it's given you the data you asked for.

Yes, the last column is "done". It's nonsense to burn-down on things that are not done.

That is not what archiving is for. Issues created by mistake should be closed with a resolution like "won't fix" or "user error". You are never going to get to archive a sub-task without it being part of the parent issue, it's nonsense. The whole point of sub-tasks is that they are a fragment of their parent issue.

I think you may be missing the point. How are you using sub-tasks? "Something like user don't want it in the that parent issue" implies that your product owners and developers are not communicating properly. (That's the nice version, we could be saying many worse things). Could you explain, briefly and broadly, how your…

@Naga Kishore Suravaravapu - it's a very good practice to disallow delete, especially in systems like Jira where "delete means delete". You really don't want to be destroying your tracking data! But archiving a bit of an issue does not make any sense. Imagine a simple jigsaw - whatever state it is in, from "box full of…

@Michelle Martin * Welcome to the Atlassian Community! * You're absolutely right, it's not limited to just the devices and apps @David Akinyemi mentions. * The more reports we can get on OS/hardware/browser/app we can get, the better, so thank you!

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Could you explain what you think is wrong with these reports? (Other than showing that your team is not delivering what it should be)

There is also the problem that Jira Cloud does not actually handle users and groups. It's done by either site admin, or Atlassian Access, which are both separate systems to Jira.

What error message do you get when you try to create an issue with the field left blank?

You can't do this in Jira Cloud - users and groups are maintained in Atlassian Access, or Atlassian Admin if you don't have Access. You would need to look for a solution that can do site admin.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You need port 8085 to be open if you are going to run the service on that port. From the server you are running it on, try fetching the local address with wget or curl to check that it's running ok - something like wget localhost:8085 will fetch you a file that you can open and read -…

What filter does it show when you click "edit filter query"?

I have two thoughts: Could you be looking at the sub-tasks of the issue? This is not a field, it is a list of issues that are part of the issue. If "sub-story" really is a field, then it is a custom-field. It is possible to have custom-fields that appear in reports and on issues, but cannot be searched. To check if this is…

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You don't need to be looking at the table. In fact, you never should have been using SQL to read the Jira database, it's the worst possible way to read data out of a Jira system. It's not just that one table, you will need to throw away all of your SQL and do your reporting properly. The…

The way to set this up is: * Look at your workflow and get a list of all the status you consider to be done * Go to the board settings -> columns, and map all of those status into the last column on the board * Correct the filter to: project = T4T ORDER BY Rank

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The only way to do this would be to set up quick-filters that match each one of your swimlanes. If you are doing swimlanes by Stories, Projects, Assignees, or Epics, then there is no concept of "current", so you can't create filters for it. Some boards do have code that generates…
