Some people will assume they are 1 point, others use 0.5, some adjust their scales, making the small ones 1 point and hence pushing the larger ones up to larger numbers.

You'd need to rewrite a chunk of Jira, including the database structure. If you need text fields to be longer, simply use the multi-line text fields which are intended for longer text.

No, the sub-type of Ubuntu you are running is not the problem. You'll need to get a supported database installed, I can't really help you with that.

You are making an incorrect assumption. Just because an issue has a link to another, with a name like "blocked by" does not mean Jira knows that you want to prevent progress on it. If you want it to do that, you can, you will need to edit the workflow, adding conditions to it that prevent people using any "close issue"…

The problem they were needing help with was solved with something that Confluence does off-the-shelf

You are right, it is not uncommon, when we take an off-the-shelf Ubuntu. Ubuntu is very generalised, it aims (and, in my opinion, succeeds) to be a good platform for most stuff, and it is heavily aimed at the desktop user. Atlassian however trips out of the comfort zone for it and is expected to be installed more on server…

In Scrum, you do not estimate on sub-tasks, so there's no need to roll up (and it breaks if you try it)

You will need to be serving the file up on a web server, such that it has a valid download url.

It probably can, but it depends on the interfaces your SAP FI-CO modules make available for Jira to talk to it (or, if you want to do it on the SAP side, you would get that to make REST calls to query and update Jira)

Go to the dashboard, edit it and add the gadgets that give you the reports you'd like to see. We can't tell you a lot more than that - you have not defined what your project metrics are or what you want from the reporting.

Could you explain what "massart" has to do with Atlassian?

I don't know if it is possible to run both on the same machine. If it is not, then you are a bit stuck, as you'll need to be running MySQL to get Jira to work. You should not try to run Jira on MariaDB - it's not supported and that's why you're not finding docs on doing it.

Oops, sorry, I said "Jira", I meant "Confluence". Principles are the same, but you do have a bit more wiggle-room on your versions. 4.5 Confluence still isn't good enough though. You will need to recreate a working Confluence from there on 4.5, upgrade it to at least 7, then you'll be able to create a backup you can use to…

To migrate a server install to the cloud, you need a valid xml export of the server version, and it has to be from a recent server version. Your labels tell us you're on Jira 4.5, so no, you're going to need to get that working properly and then upgraded to 8.10-ish, then you'll be able to export to something Cloud can…

There seems to be two different problems here. First, you can't create issues due to unsupported data. Could you tell us more about this? What are the errors in the log file when you try to do this? Second, on edit, you appear to be trying to edit the issue type and changing it to an incompatible one. It recommends that…

Please see the answer and comments above.

I'm not aware of any tools that can (usefully) read and interpret the finer details of a Jira workflow. There are a couple of things (Smartdraw springs to mind because of a colleague's work on automating it) that can look at the current one, but, of course, their output is obsolete at the point they run.

No, notifying people you have no permission, audit or security control over is not an acceptable practice. To amend a task, you absolutely need to be a Jira user in that system.

I am sorry, I was not clear in my question. I want to know why you think you want to do this. "As part of security measure" does not answer the question. To try to expand or explain - what security benefit do you think you get from doing this? 

No less secure than other methods.

I do not want to ignore this, as it is a very good question, but I don't want to answer it here because this is an 8 year old question and a lot of stuff has changed. Could you ask this as a new question please? And phrase it without referring back to the stuff from 2012 above?

You don't really tell us where you are stuck - what is wrong with the install? I would take one guess though. MariaDB is not a supported database for Atlassian stuff (yet). So whatever the problem you are seeing is, the very first suggestion we have to make is "use a supported database". Now, a couple of weeks ago, I…

I've got three. None of them are big things though A number of my friends in medical areas are reporting some great things outside Covid - social distancing seeming to lead to winter 'flu cases down by two thirds in their southern hemisphere homes, and (anecdotally), fewer colds and other diseases. I'm an introvert and I…

This suggests that you are trying to use cfvalues in a context where it does not exist. Could you give us some more detail about where your script is running, what it is trying to do and so-on?

Moving issues from one project to another is a sign of a broken process. You should not be seeing a need to do it. (It is a valid thing to do, but the reasons are housekeeping, re-organisation and archiving, not day-to-day use) There are apps that will enable an automated move in many places, but they absolutely require…

You just need to change your name in your profile.

The UI and database relationship is not as simple as you guess it might be. The best thing to do is simply stop reading the database. The UI and REST API will give you consistent and clear understandable data, rather than you having to assume (and get wrong) all the logic you need to apply when reading from the database.

First, separate out the servers. You have Confluence, which is moderately simple - you've got about 50 users so I would guess you have either a 50 user or 100 user licence for that. If you were adding apps to Confluence, it is simple - your app needs to be licenced at the same level as Confluence is (or, if you're happy to…

I've had no problems doing this in the past (not that I have any call for it any more, as even 7.6 is so old nobody bothers) You'll need to read the Synchrony, Confluence and Tomcat logs together to work out what is failing.

Could you give us the error messages?
