Jira only becomes read-only on licence expiry if you are on an evaluation licence. The read-only applies to all functions that change issues, but your admins will still be able to log in and get to the settings - specifically user maintenance and the licence section so they can paste a new licence key in. If you have a…

No. Jira becomes read-only when your evaluation expires. That includes archiving.

Glad to help. Hopefully, that explains enough to the CEO, but if they do have further questions, please feel free to carry on here with them!

I work from several places in my house, despite having a dedicated office. This is the most common view of it:

You can make whole projects available to "anonymous" users - people who have not logged in. If you do that, I'll strongly recommend that the permissions are limited to read-only functions (pretty much "browse project" and maybe "view workflow" and nothing else) - never let an anonymous user have write, or you will not be…

This is due to a howling bug in the "draft workflow" function. It is annoying, and it has been reported many times to Atlassian, but they're not going to fix it because: * The coding for it is not trivial, it's not like appending a line of text to a document, a line to a spreadsheet or a new column or table to a database,…

You need to be an administrator to edit the workflows, which contain the transitions that you add post-functions to. Screens in Jira are simple lists of fields. The lists are held globally, and often shared between projects. When you edit a workflow transition, you'll find a box pops up to edit the name and the "transition…

The difference between Jira Software and Jira Cloud is that "one is an application, the other software as a service", so any other comparisons between them probably don't make a lot of sense - it's like comparing a house with a sea on the moon because they're both just called "tranquility" I do not think you are asking the…

I cannot think of a way to do this on Cloud - you need something like Behaviours or a custom field with javascript functionality, but Cloud doesn't yet support the ability to do those.

It depends on what functions you are using from JSU, but without knowing that, I can only give you some general suggestions as to things that may be worth a look: * Jira Misc Workflow Extensions * Automation for Jira And if you're happy to do some coding, other options include * Scriptrunner * Powerscripts * Writing your…

Correct. Your existing licence gives you support, which includes access to any version released during your support period. It also lets you keep running your Jira, unsupported, for as long as you want after that time. But if you want to upgrade to current, you must be supported, which means having a valid current licence.

Just a view of a field configuration that seems to be missing fields. Note - not a field configuration scheme, just a single field configuration.

A field configuration lists all fields that can be configured. The fields may not have the right context, they may be hidden by permissions, and the screens they are on are totally irrelevant, so there's nothing that stops a configurable field appearing. Could you show us a field configuration where you think fields are…

I was doing a high level thing because there's a lot more detail and I do not know where people might get stuck at. It is quicker to type a few lines and fill in the blanks when you ask, than replicate all the Atlassian docs with detailed annotations on where. For the database config, head to <confluence-data> again, and…

At a very high level: * Export your data to XML using the Confluence backup option (on the server, it's in <confluence-data/exports>) * Stop Confluence * Repoint Confluence to an empty MySQL database * Restart it, and visit it in a browser * Run through the setup, until it asks if you have some XML to import * Feed it your…

* Yes, assuming it is the sh.exe distributed with Sourcetree * Probably the \bin level in the path you've got - stuff outside \bin should not be executable so still worth checking

Apologies for the delay. In your Jira install, in the directory called "conf", there is a server.xml file. This contains (at least) four "connector" sections. All but one should be commented out by default. You should comment out the one you do not need and un-comment the one you do need. I cannot tell you which one you…

This one is a pain - whilst I know we can, and should, infer data from parent issues, I do not like that we can't derive it automatically in Jira. Yep, it's fine that a sub-task is clearly part of an Epic because its parent is, and it should be in the same version(s) as its parent, the same sprint, and so-on, it's pretty…

It's not a bug or something Atlassian are going to fix. Your workflow is not setting and/or clearing the resolution as it should. You'll need to talk to your admins to get this fixed.

That is exactly the functionality that labels provide.

And labels do exactly that.

Restrictions only control read and edit on sub-sets of pages. Delete rights are controlled by space permissions.

I'm afraid I do not know.

You can only upgrade to a version that is released before the end of your current licence. Your current one says 2015 on it, so a renewal isn't of much use, you should just buy a new annual licence - that'll enable the upgrade.

What backup client are you asking about here?

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks.

Assuming that subtasks could exist outside any useful context for them. Have a read of the problem statement and the answers to see what is nonesense. I'd like to see versions on components too, for other reasons than the one you describe (which is also perfectly valid, just not the way I need to work).

There is no status category field on the jiraissue table. There is a status field, but that refers to status. To map the status to the statuscategory, you are going to need to code for it.

Yes, getting people into a nonsensical position is not something that anyone wants to support. Given the essays above on why it cannot work, could you explain how you think it could?
