Cool... I am glad that helped.. and I agree that it's not as intuitive as it might be. I'd prefer it (personally) if it showed up as a page in MY list like any page but not for anyone else until published. If it worked for you, do please tick the answer accepted button... Best, mike

Try going to your profile icon in the upper right. Select the "Recently Worked On" selection. Should give you that list including the unpublished draft.

@Jason Saunders , you can delete those including whatever versions you happen to be running. They can be downloaded from Atlassian again any time. I never keep 'em around. You can find all the Jira versions here and the Confluence versions here

Hi @Kara Brake While it could get ugly fast, one way you could to it is to have, essentially, all the workflows baked into a single one and which way it goes is dependent on the value in the Change Type field. So... for example, from the generic "To Do" start box, depending on the field type, transitions to the workflow…

Hey @Julian Carroll that is probably the best reason for explicitly setting different JIRA_HOME and CONF_HOME directories. You can find instructions here: * https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/setting-your-jira-application-home-directory-861253889.html *…

Hi @Ashley Stewart No... that field is NOT in Jira out of the box. I created that field as a custom field for that purpose.. Once you make that you'd be away

Hi @Diego I am actually using AdoptOpenJDK8. However, there are two variants of that. One with the HotSpot (Oracle) JVM and one with the Eclipse (IBM) JVM. By all accounts the Eclipse JVM is much faster. I did try to start it with AdoptOpenJDK8-OpenJ9. No luck. With basic AdoptOpenJDK8, it started right up. (I am running…

Hi @Shelli When you make a sub-task, it's automagically related to its parent. Other issue types aren't. However, you can use any of the existing (or create a new one) link types to link the two tickets. It won't be a "parent/sub" relationship but all the links have an inward and an outward direction so you can have it…

Ok @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- , you cats have outdone yourself. I'll be getting rather up close and personal with this one. For future planning, is there a possibility that this will make the leap to Data Center and/or Cloud?

Hi @Julian Carroll Check the permissions on explicitly the "indexes" directory. It's entirely possible they didn't propagate down the tree. Another consideration is that perhaps it'd be better to configure the JIRA_HOME to be some file system other than Program Files, preferably in a path that doesn't include spaces in it.…

Hi @Ashley Stewart I was curious about that myself when you asked so I tried a handful of things on my test instance. Short answer is that I saw that the ticket was updated but not WHAT was updated when I changed the watchers field. However, I have another custom field similar to "watchers" that I use for other things…

Hi @Amy Nguyen I'm not sure where you are setting that as it's not a "default" Jira field. I'm also assuming Jira server with this suggestion but have a look at Regex Custom Fields plugin for Jira Server. I use it for just this kind of thing in my instance.…

Thanks @Brant Schroeder , That was exactly the answer I was hoping for. Part of my migration process will be to weed the ones that aren't supported before I try to migrate to make it as smooth as possible. I really am not looking forward to trolling through that giant XML file for various app-keys... 

Hi @Brant Schroeder , I was actually talking about the plugin keys as they would appear in WFs and the like, not the actual license keys. I've identified all the plugins I have to eradicate BUT what I wonder is, when I import Workflows and the like, will the app keys be the same and the workflows work? For example, on my…

Hi @Emanuel , I actually run a Jira instance that covers not only the Devs and other technoweenies but also for all the Marketing, Creative, Legal... well... basically if something moves here and there is a process attached to it, it's in Jira. SO.... what you're trying to do isn't out of the realm of reason. In your case,…

Dang it all... you've just made me re-open my analysis (LOE, migration steps, costs etc) to migrate from server to cloud. But it's a good thing. Thanks for the announcement and the change; that was one thing that was blew cloud out of the water. I'll be taking this back to CIO for his thoughts.

I don't run the billing so only have a high level view of that but, after buying Reserved Instances for my prod and test envs, and careful sizing I am keeping it ~$1500/mo for the whole thing (all elements used considered and not just the basic EC2, EBS, RDS kinda stuff)

Thanks @Aleksandr Zuevich. THAT gets me to the bit I couldn't get to. In the interim (and to get them at least partly off my back) I had come up with a subset of that which at least said that a role changed and who did it. This gets me the WHAT changed.

@Aleksandr Zuevich this little snippet just got me out of a world of hurt from a rather paranoic group (merely added an if statement to check if their group was the one acted on)

Hey @Jeff Everett, Yes, it DOES sound like you could go EFS. As I mentioned originally, that was my first choice for a variety of reasons: * No provisioning for size; just make a volume and mount it* No need to monitor volume usage. It's as big as it needs to be. * I found it amusing with the EFS volumes to do a "df -h"…

Hi @Jeff Everett SO... i have a 500 user instance but it is pounded heavily and has a lot of massively expensive groovy listeners and automation stuff in it. I have a 500GB volume for Jira (don't get me started on why that has to be so large but a change is coming) and a 25GB volume for Confluence with no extra throughput…

Indeed. I find that I am cautious about what I might "suggest" as something as simple as "contract" for permission changes (given that "contract" has special meaning to such humans) might rapidly take on a life of it's own and end up with a massively complex Jira workflow and various assignments throughout its life to make…

Hey @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-, I wholly agree with you. However, this is the... Legal... department's project and, as we all know, lawyers want things a certain way even if there isn't a meaningful reason for it. I had been in a situation where there were way too many admins (historical thing) but I have long since slammed…

Is there an update to this for a newer version of Jira? This returns the list of giant files i've but BUT the "pkey" column is empty. Any thoughts?

Yup... that was the ticket. I'll add that change to the properties file when I build the next version's Docker image so it'll be there from that day forward

@Josh Steckler, I don't see that one in the "Default Loggers" section. Might I need to do the "Configure logging level for another package" thing to get it visible and then set the level?

This may be a bit of a two-step thing but you can try this: * Create your link and put it in an excerpt macro. Edit the macro and have it hide the excerpted text. This makes and keeps the link between the two for you * Create the external href link and edit it so that the display text is just the unadorned ticket number.…

@Harish Tuccapuram, what version of Jira are you running? I am having a similar thing go on with mine (7.11.2). The one difference I have is that I have my pool-max-size at 60. The symptoms I'll see are that BOTH DB connections and the CPU will go bonkers at the same time. Check to see if you're getting the CPU load high…

@Gabriel Tessarini, I accepted YOUR answer as well as that addresses my next iteration on this festival. Much appreciated

@Mark Markov That was exactly the ticket. I tried Mutable BUT thinking back, I declared it wrong. You solved this issue for me
