What do you mean by "workstream"? Is this a custom field, or something provided by an app of some sort?

Ok, but that conversation tends to end with people eventually doing what they need to to enable cancellation. To check this, please: * Go to my.atlassian.com * Log in with the account you want to delete * In the Licences section, what systems are showing with "request support" to the right of them? (If there's no "request…

Have you closed or transferred all your products to another person yet?

Yes, (this is a 7 year old question and some things have changed). JMWE, Scriptrunner are certainly the candidates where I absolutely know it works. There are a couple of other apps. However, in those last 7 years, Atlassian have added a creator system-field to issues as well, so you should not need any code at all!

Which "ask a question" dialogue? Is that in Confluence Questions?

That's quite a complicated thing to do, and smacks of pointless duplication. The data in the linked issue will destroy the data in the target issue, making them the same thing while you're now tracking them twice, and destroying information that the person putting the link on an issue has entered. One of the issues would…

Roles do not accept emails, they accept users. They accept email as an identifier for a user account. You need to get a user added for your non-IBMer, then you'll be able to add them to the role.

I am not sure what you are asking for here. Your code in your angular or dotnet project is going to have to keep a record of users so that it can recognise when Jira presents new ones to it.

This error message is telling you that you have NOT upgraded Confluence, you've taken a 6.9 installation, tried (and not succeeded) in uograding it to 6.14, then pointed a 7.4 installation at it. Somewhere, you've made a right mess of this. The best thing you can do is shut the whole install down, then create a new empty…

This is not a Bitbucket error directly, it's down to the OS, Bitbucket is just reporting that it can't do it. You will need to rework your code so that it does not try to create over-long file names when building/deploying.

@Mike RathwellI cannot find a way to agree with you more.

I'm liking the description "dumpster fire with extra hobos", but I'd like to add a bit more. Not sure what, but things like "being the subject of a hacked drone strike" and "nuked by an idiotic or evil leader of a big country in order to make themselves more popular" spring to mind. (It's even more scary that my list of…

Part of me does not want to allow people to change the colours, at least until they've had good training. I've worked with organisations that understand colour-blindness, and hence know that the "red amber green" type things most people will instinctively reach for are really really bad for a lot of people. Now, my cat is…

No, because it's useless. Please have a look at the good questions @[deleted] is asking, and my more muddled answers to them. I'm trying to answer it in one thread.

Ok, so I think I have failed to explain this properly, I'll try another explanation. I think we all know that a filter returns a pile of issues. Where I think you're missing the point is that it really is just a pile of issues. If you want to see this list, in any form, you have to use something that reports on that list.…

Cloud does not have priority schemes, they're server/DC only for now. There is a request for them, but it doesn't seem to be seeing any love from Atlassian.

TLDR: No The long version: That's a good question, and I don't think the docs really explain it at all. The shortest way to explain this is to say that "the properties are only read at run-time". This means that the property is passive, it's only read when an issue is going through the transition so that Jira can put the…

It doesn't matter. The problem here is not that you want this function and Atlassian are refusing, but that you're not understanding that it is of no use in the way you've defined for it. Let's say you create a filter for "colour in (red, green, blue) group by colour". What does that do when you're using the filter in a…

No, searching finds issues, not the individual parts of issues you've searched for.

Nothing. There's plenty of other software that have functions that Trello has. Just not everything that Trello does. As a random example, you can make a very Trello-like system with Jira with the Canvas app added to it. It won't be quite the same as Trello, but it can do everything Trello does, and a load more (because it…

Yes, if you can log in, you will be able to access your data. I'd strongly recommend keeping your email up to date, because that's the way you can reset a password if you lose it.

Hover the cursor over the name of a sprint, you'll see a url appear as a tip in the browser (firefox does it at the bottom left for example). That will end with id=x, where x is the unique database id of the sprint.

The migration screen is not incredibly clever. If it detects any issue that needs a status change during a migration, it lists the whole lot, not just the ones that actually change. You can simply ignore any status change where 0 issues are affected, it does at least tell you that in the screen.

Sprints do not belong to projects, and can (and will) appear on any board that might have issues that are in them. I suspect you don't have 2 sprints, but only 1. So when you change its name, the new name is shown in all the places the sprint is shown in.

Could you please explain what this has to do with Atlassian stuff?

You will need to read the Confluence logs to find out why it has stopped responding. It's probably just not running at all, but you'll need the logs to find out why it has stopped.

Be careful with that. If you are going to do Scrum and look at velocity and burndown type stuff, you must understand that you only put Scrum estimates on items you commit to doing in a sprint. You do not put estimates on sub-tasks. If you do that, you will make a nonsense of your reporting.

It's moved to https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/adding-a-jql-function-to-jira/ Although I should point out again that it's the wrong place to look. JQL returns a list of issues, it does not tell whatever is displaying the list how to behave beyond a simple order (and most reports don't care about the…

So change it. Trello lets you mess with colours throughout.

It was very helpful. It was not "tiny maunderings", it was "a good view on the way another human is feeling and thinking" andI wanted to tell you that it's appreciated by people outside the Atlassian ecosystem as well as us inside it!
