Rachel Wright Community Champion

Hi @Amruta Pelapkar, I hadn't seen the "Reset" button before, so I tried it in my Jira Cloud test instance to see what happens! All it did was restore the issue type list, on the left, under the header "Issue Types for Current Scheme" to whatever the original default issue types were. NOTE: You cannot edit the "Default…

Hi @Vikas Puttagunta , You can disable email notifications at the application level, but it's for all outgoing email, not for specific types of messages. To disable mail for the entire application, visit: Admin > System > Outgoing mail and click the "Disable Outgoing Mail" button at the top right. Some organizations…

Hi @Yatish Madhav, here's one to start us off! You mentioned the use case of one company merging with another and I have the worst of the worst examples to share! Setting the scene: Alpha company and Bravo company merge. Both companies have the full Atlassian stack and thus need to consolidate applications. But some team…

Thank you @Jimmy Seddon ! Some days I want post a message about how much I love all my fellow community members but think, "No, Rachel, people will think you are weird...please log off of Slack immediately." So, maybe it's appropriate in this thread instead. :) I love you all! Being a member of the Atlassian Community is…

Many congrats @Tinker Fadoua ! Adding to the love with one of my favorite Summit photos, circa 2017.

Thanks @Matt Doar - always great to have your feedback! I changed the bullets to numbers in the "How to Decouple a Project" section. Since Next-gen projects in Jira Cloud are schemeless, they are their own beast. I have an article about some of their differences…

Hi @Matt Doar , My take on your discussion points: 1. I see the "Priority" field as a data point belonging to the Reporter. And of course, their "super important, need it done yesterday" priority may differ from reality. ;) I use "Priority" to inform initial importance and the "Rank" field to communicate actual importance…

Thanks @Matt Doar ! I improved the wording above for the name of the Data Center node.

Great job on your Summit talk @Alex Christensen ! https://youtu.be/SaRIb08EjSc I really enjoyed your analogy of inheriting an existing Jira instance to renovating a "new to you" house. Lots of dirt and cracks in the foundation to address, for both, no doubt! And congrats to your and your wife on the house! Cheers, Rachel…

Hi @Egor Illarionov, yes, you can "turn off" the new UI for a limited time. At the top right, click your avatar icon and select the "Turn off the New Navigation" item in the menu. BUT, before you do it, consider that the new nav will become permanent, regardless of your selection, on an unknown future date. Whenever…

My favorite quote from Summit Day #2 was from Sasan Goodarzi, CEO of Intuit. He says "Don't listen to what customers say, observe what they do. Most customers don't actually do what they say." Quite an interesting point. Thanks Sasan!

I too am an established remote worker. I've rotated from working from home, then working in an office, and then back to both again, many times now. It was always interesting to see who can embrace the remote idea and who can't fathom how work can possibly be completed in this manner. I can say for certain that I'm MORE…

Chris and I take 3 or 4 short walks a day. Otherwise, I'll sit at my computer for 14 hours at a time! Anyway, it's quick, easy, gets me up and moving, and is good to get outside into the fresh air. I also try not to think about work on the walks, but that doesn't always work. I try to focus on nature and the surroundings…

My guess: Things from the countries we represent? Here are all the passwords entered, in case someone else sees the pattern. Maybe you'll wake up at 4 in the morning with the answer! Things in France: - Disneyland Paris - Moulin Rouge - Millau Bridge Things in Italy: - Trevi Fountain - Mount Vesuvius - Lemon olive oil cake…

Ha @Monique vdB - I've been there but I guess I didn't know what it was called. Thanks for all the hard work you're doing to make this a great week for us. :)

Mine is "Cloud Gate". Sounds like a computing scandal in the making!!

Happy birthday @Esme Crutchley and nice to see you on some of the ACE Summit meeting this week! I thought about your question for a long time, but truly couldn't come up with an example. I think it's because we're traveling in an RV so we don't have room for a lot of "things" anymore. And also like @Dominic Lagger said, my…

I like your positive attitude @Poorvi Jhawar . :) I was filming a Jira administration course, where one of my recommendations was that admins should attend Summit!

Thanks very much for contributing @Matt Doar ! I was hoping others would share what they remembered too! No custom fields before Jira 3? Hmmm, a blessing and a curse at the same time! ;)~

I so agree, @Emily Koch - thanks for contributing! I roll my clothes and then put them in Eagle Creek Compression cubes. (https://amzn.to/2OtoH8g) I can usually fit everything in one large one. (At least that's always the goal!) That sounds fantastic @Shawn Kessler! Thanks for the recommendation. Haven't tried that yet…

Hi again @Pamela Soukamneuth, I don't know of a community license for Cloud products, however, Atlassian recently announced a free version of Jira Cloud, open to anyone. There are a few limitations in the free version however. For more info about this version, see:…

Hi @Pamela Soukamneuth, Atlassian offers free licenses for their server products to registered non-profit charitable organizations. You can apply for a community license here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-request Hope this helps, Rachel Wright Author, Jira Strategy Admin Workbook

Nice timing - a perfect discussion for Data Privacy Day! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Privacy_Day

Thanks @Tim Keyes. I hadn't heard of those socks, but I'll take a military recommendation any day! I know you all know all about gear performance. Half the fun of this trip was getting all my gear ready and making my pack as light as possible. My nickname in the travel/camping world is "Gram Weenie." I'll get to work on…

Hi @Sal Quintanilla what you're asking sounds like the built-in "Link" feature. When you link one issue to another a reciprocal link is automatically created. (Issue A shows a link to issue B and issue B shows a link to issue A.) The list of linked issues are shown on an issue's "View" screen, as a column in filter…

Hi @Satyam Puttala, let's try something easy first. Can you make sure your board is configured to display estimates? I believe the default is to display Story Points. Here's how to check: * Visit your board * Click the "..." menu and select "Board settings" * Click the "Estimation" link on the left sidebar (pictured below)…

Hi @Ari Cohen , I don't have the answer but I just wanted to confirm that I've also seen the count discrepancy you've reported. I noticed it in Jira Server v7.12.1. The number of issues I'm changing doesn't match the number reported by the bulk change feature. After the bulk change, I made that the issue updates were…

The next article in this series is posted! See: Gear Tests and Practice Walks 

Great idea @Shaun Sheehan ! How about: * Something related to your "Resolution" values. I always find useful tidbits in there. For example, high or low counts for "duplicate" or "can't reproduce" or "invalid" selections always make me want to learn more. * Most comments on a single issue * Most participants on a single…

Thanks for the activity feed fix! I use it surprisingly often!
