All the text based fields essentially. I'm told it's supposed to prioritise summary and then description, but it searches all text fields and comments too. You can search just the summary with simple JQL = "summary ~ xyz"

Velocity shows code when the code is invalid. In this case, I'd guess that the issues do not have any comments and the code does not trap that and display nothing instead. You'll need the authors of the last comment field code to take a look at it.

You can't do this - status is not a field, it's an indicator of where an issue is in a process. It doesn't exist until the issue exists, and the create process has to set it to what the workflow says it begins with.

Imports are the exception - you can specify what status the issue is imported in.

But I still live in a graveyard... I see dead people.... I should stop watching Stephen King and Shaymalan films and go back to Hellraiser and Insidious, right?

You have missed the point, we discussed that before. Please have a read of the rest of the conversation (which goes back 8 YEARS), instead of ranting.

And you have now proved it conclusively. Trying to set "traps" like zebrafish proves that you have not understood (or, worse, not tried to understand) what was said before. Please, just read what went before, and argue against that instead of your straw man. You do not seem to have not read any of this conversation. To be…

How have you "added a custom macro"? User macros? A marketplace app that provides it? An app you have written yourself?

"Has access to" means you can log into it (usually with some write access, but it is possible to set people up with read-only). It is just "this system recognises your account". To "un-config" it, removing items from the list, you have to get yourself removed from those systems. You'll need to contact the site admins for…

Glad it was helpful! The way resolution works is one of the weirdest hangovers I've seen in Jira, and it's rare to find any admin who has not got it wrong (or seen one of these conversations before they get it wrong). Takes me back to when I got it so so wrong (I'm old - I'm talking Jira 2 at this point!)

For a classic/server project, you use the "update field" post-function to clear the resolution. When you select "resolution" you'll find the first option in the drop-down list of possible values is "none". When you save the new post function, it will show as "the resolution will be cleared", rather than "resolution will be…

Look at your list of screens and where they are used. Any screen that is used for "create" or "edit" issue in the issue type screen scheme needs to be checked for the resolution field - remove it from any screen that is for create or edit because they are wrong.

This does not really have anything to do with Confluence, you would be better off asking in hardware fora. But, as it's something I've looked at before: You'll find most hard drives consume between 15W and 30W when highly active. So your NAS should have a supply capable of delivering 450W (15 disks at 30W each). If you…

It looks like the comments were read, and found to be offensive, and then removed (at least that's what my emails look like) There are a few lines here - telling Atlassian (or the community) that you think they are wrong is fine. Insults and demonstrably wrong statements (which is what I have seen here) - no. Those posts…

No, a template is a template, literally. When you use a template, you get what it is at that point in time.

Confluence does this by design. Could you explain what you are really looking for?

Same question I asked three years ago. Try again.

No, jira does not do field level security. You can, or can not, see an issue, but there is no partial view

I think you've missed the point here. If an employee understands it, there is no problem - they won't make a mess. The point is that you should not let people who do not know what they are doing have the access to inflict their ignorance on others. The "better alternative" is "don't let the incompetant break anything…

Kristian, as always, has given you a much better answer than I usually would (I'm blunt, minimal and tend to focus on one single thing. Whereas Kristian will give you a lot of information and options), but he did miss one resource I would want to mention as well. https://library.adaptavist.com/ is also worth a look when…

I'd zip it up if you need to transfer it via a network, just because compressed data can be transferred faster. (Consider sending a 100Mb file over a network against how fast a 1Mb file can go). The tools you need are "any compression tool" - there are hundreds out there supporting almost all formats.

I don't think you've read the conversation properly.

You can't do this, other than by changing every single project to a read-only permission scheme.

Cloning does what it says - it makes a near identical clone of an issue. The whole point of cloning is that it takes assignee, reporter, manager and all the other fields. I would very strongly recommend that if you want a copy of an issue with different fields, create a new one and put the right data on it. Stop using…

No, the audit log is about checking administrator changes to settings. If you want to track IP addresses of emails, you'll need to look at the email's routing headers (And bear in mind that the IP address is not tracked or in the slightest bit reliable when it is, in emails)

You will need to change the workflow - the "closed" status probably has a workflow property on the step/status that says "editable = false" - you need to change that to a property that names the people or groups that should be allowed to edit the issue while it is in that status.

That looks like your only admin has left your organisation and hence been removed from the user directory. You will need to get in touch with the people who run your user directory system and get someone nominated as the new admin (I'd recommend you have three people with admin access)

You are reading docs for Confluence Server here, not Cloud. Sections have gone away in the new Cloud editor. Layouts replace them, but are not as powerful - you can't move layout areas around the way you can with sections, they're just about having 2 or 3 columns in a fixed point in a page now.

<sigh> Repeating the same thing does not make you any less wrong. Oh well, I can't understand this for you, and I've tried to end the conversation amicably, but you continue to insult me (which usually means you know you're wrong and have moved from reason to "ad hominem" attacks instead). I give up. 

Please see most of the rest of this discussion.
