Hi @jrm , When I needed a refresher, I found this 3-minute video useful (it uses easy-to-understand and remember illustrations): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_sl6J8PRg. Once you get to learning specifically about Jira, then I find this free course from Alex useful (just click "view all videos"):…

Thanks @Rp Subs for your comment! We'll take a look right away. 

Oh, you are right. It seems to add rel=noopener tag automatically. I removed the links, thanks for pointing it out! 

Hi Michael, Full disclosure, again :) I work for a marketplace vendor - we make Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) - but if you have a third-party app for workflows, you can see if any validators are offered and what you can do with them. In this case, if you do happen to have JMWE running in your Cloud instance, you…

Hi Michael, There are quite a few interesting use cases for validators and conditions that you can do in your instance. I work for a marketplace vendor - we make Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) - but if you have any of the third-party apps for workflows, you can typically look up some use cases documentation. Even if…

Product Update to clarity the above reference to JMWE: Feb 5th 2021 released features in JMWE for Jira Cloud support calculated fields using Event-based actions. How-to example can be seen here. Note: There are no execution limitations for JMWE for multi-project or global configurations, including in Jira Cloud Standard.

Yes, unfortunately you'd need to use a Workflow app to automate that (add proper workflow extension), and there are several available that can do the job: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?category=Workflow&hosting=server&product=jira-service-management

@[deleted] Super! Thank you for your comment!

Hi Michael, if you are running on Jira Server or Data Center, please take a look at Jira Misc Custom Fields (JMCF) - it's calculated fields - it will be super easy to calculate this fields using this app. This field will be searchable. It is also much cheaper than workflow or scripting tools. Note: I work for Innovalog,…

Hi! In addition to all these great resources, definitely check out https://www.jirastrategy.com. It's by Rachel Wright, and she has great insights on her website (and in her book), and some of her new classes on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/jira-basic-administration Best of luck! Inna

Hi Jason, If you do end up using JMWE, this "Verify Approval in a Jira Workflow" how-to by Rachel Wright can help you set up the needed workflow: https://www.jirastrategy.com/apps/verify-approval-in-a-jira-workflow. You can also set up conditional approvals, when certain issues by-pass the approval and Rachel covers that…

I agree, talk to your Jira Admin - if you have any of the workflow apps installed, you can create more specific workflows. For instance, use workflow conditions and validators in cases like Testing Execution Method: if "Observation" was selected, you can require another field's value added, and ignore this for all other…

Hi @Fletcher Wu , Take a look and see if you already have an add on installed, such as ScriptRunner, Jira Workflow Toolbox (as above). Or our app, Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE). "Field required" validator will help with this issue. The library of validators, conditions, and post-functions will help you extend your…

While the cancellation is definitely unfortunate, I think this was the right decision at this point. 

The same approach will work in that case, but you'll need to use the Transition Linked Issues post-function instead of the Transition Parent Issue post-function, and the Linked Issues Status Condition instead of the Subtasks Blocking Condition.

Hi Jeremy, I believe this use case is described step-by-step by Rachel Wright: Automatically transition Jira issues (When all child issues are closed, automatically transition the parent so users don't need to do it manually.) https://www.jirastrategy.com/apps/automatically-transition-jira-issues It is specific to Jira…

Hi Laas, Just in case you subscribe to the Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) app as well, you would now have the issue transitions history tab in the new view. We've released it not too long ago, but it does work slightly differently - it shows all transitions in chronological order. Here is some quick info. And here is…

Hi Cheryl, First of all, I work for Innovalog (vendor that makes a popular workflow app). You can use Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) to create issues with conditions. Use "create issue" post-function to create both new issues (finance and IT) in one step. Here is the direct link to documentation on this feature. Hope…

Fantastic idea. Here is mine: https://www.linkedin.com/in/innagordin/

Followup: One of our customers has asked whether there are any performance issues during the automatic upgrade, whether downtime is required, or any impact on running workflows or users. The answer is: there is no downtime related to using automatic migration, which takes only seconds. Users will still be able to use Jira…

Oh, and have a great trip, whenever you settle on it!

Hi @Chris Nicosia This was indeed a fun read! I struggle myself with vacation planning, but here is a hack I use all the time if you travel from the US to Europe: Buy flights from the European website counterparts (if you are able to see local currency, instead of US$ if searching from the US). For example, don't buy…

@Rachel Wright I think I need to upgrade my TripIt to TripIt Pro.

About TSA pre-check, a quick addition to this comprehensive list... The TSA card won't be accepted at the airport (like mentioned above, its for land only) - TSA # must be added to each airline/ticket when you buy your ticket, or add to your airline account, and then it will be printed on the boarding pass. If not, there…
