There is a flaw in Jira here. In Scrum, sub-tasks are an irrelevance and it has nothing to say about them. Jira has them because they can be useful for splitting up larger pieces of work (so you can assign bits of the story to different people, or approach dealing with it in discrete steps, etc), but they're not things…

That is almost what Carla said, yes. She said "deactivate" instead of "delete" - don't bother deleting users, you have to change stuff they've interacted with and pointlessley destroy tracking data. Just deactivate them.

Yes. Jira does not care how an issue went into the next sprint. When you close sprint X with open issues, those open issues are put into sprint x+1. You committed to doing them in sprint X because they were the highest ranked and you thought you could do them, so in most cases you'll want to commit to doing them again in…

Again, it's not the memory, there is something wrong with your database connection. Look for the database connection errors in the log instead of the memory ones.

I don't know. I can't tell you how you set up the repository and access control for it (if any)

Stop thinking in terms of "reverse", it is not useful. The "all" transition is what has been used. An "all" transition allows you to go to the target status from any status in the workflow. To stop people from being able to go to this status from anywhere, you need to remove or protect the "all" transition into it. You…

How have you configured it such that you see no backlog?

In admin -> advanced settings there is a (well hidden) option to define what columns appear in the sub-task display, The property jira.table.cols.subtasks can change all the fields (I'd recommend including at least key and summary somewhere)

Ok, this goes back to what security you set up when you created the repo. You'll need to use the data you set it up with (or use those to log in and create more accounts)

You can change the name (and key) of a project in the project settings.

The ideal solution is to get them to change the email address on their existing Atlassian account, but if that is not possible, then yes, you are spot on, you'll need to ask them to create new ones and then do a bit of migration work.

No. Can you describe the errors you are seeing? (Just the text, that's easier to read and work with)

I am sorry, but we cannot tell you a lot more than "you should use the password for username@place". If you don't know what that is, then you'll need to reset it or talk to the administrators of the the repository.

No Jira does have a voting system, but it needs people to be logged in, as each person's vote is a recorded as a line in the database with their name. This is to prevent people voting more than onc. Totally anonymous voting systems are utterly useless, they can be gamed by scripts or bots in seconds, and Atlassian have…

I don't know, that's the only time I've seen that behaviour, but it's not what is happening to you.

The free version only works for older versions of Jira. If you've upgraded to a version that needs the paid version, you'll either need to pay for it or stop using it (and look at alternatives)

Or read what has already been said and stop looking like a troll? (a new account, just to complain about something that only affects inexperienced admins and has a simple fix? Really?)

You'll be able to do everything you could do before, just not through Bitbucket.

Your question does not have a lot of context, but I would default to looking at Jira Service Desk with Mindville's Insight applications installed on it.

>we don't have a timeboxed sprints. This is complete nonsense. A sprint is a timebox. It does not exist without a start and end date. Please could you have another look at your processes and either describe your sprints poperly or explain how you are not doing scrum?

Nothing. It's just that Bitbucket will stop talking to them.

It really is not hard. Log in, go to profile, click "delete" and "confirm". If you are stuck, you need to tell us more about what you are seeing.

Yep, that's what it was rebranded to a few years ago, so the auto-correct is now reflecting the current name.

I know of one way to replicate exactly these sypmtoms - get distracted. If you open an community question in a browser and then wander off to make tea or something, when you come back, you can get exactly what you describe. Click answer or comment and it just goes grey and posts nothing. Refresh the page and post again -…

Interesting, have you spotted any pattern in the special characters that work or do not? 

Jira boards are trying to do a lot of work when you display them, and they're coded in a way that means they spend a lot of time asking the Jira server for data and formatting the response for us humans. There is a complicated dance between "server does most of the work" and "browser does most of the work" happening here,…

There's not a lot I can tell you about procing I'm afraid. Yes, you can drop the maintenance cost of your current server licence, and instead pay for the Data Centre version (may be worth getting in touch with Atlassian or a partner about this - if, for example, you bought or renewed server in June, and you go to DC in…

@Sachinhas given you the right answer for editing a workflow and adding a screen to ask the person closing an issue to set the resolution. But there is one other thing to be aware of - if your workflow is "simplified", then you should not do this. It will work, for a while, but if one of the board admins decides to change…

There is only part of a question here. Could you ask the rest of it?

I think you would have a much easier life if you moved to Jira Service Desk.
