After our migration to Cloud, a user pointed out that the "Link Issue" feature lacks functionality that the old "Add Link" feature from on-prem had. Notably, the ability to do an Simple or even Advanced Search (they were using Fix Versions not Project) to bulk link multiple tickets all at once: Now on Cloud, they have to…

Automation Rules can be exported and imported as JSON files, which is useful if you wanted to copy/share rules across Jira instances. But this feature can be exploited for some other tasks probably not intended by the Code Barrel guys. Some examples, which I've detailed below: Finding all rules where a user is being set to…

If, like me and countless others, you're coming to Jira Cloud after years of working on Jira Server or Data Center. One of the first things you might run into is the fact that your favorite old plug-ins (fine, apps, add-ons, whatever Atlassian is calling them today) you used to use to create workflow validators or…

The problem: Say you want to set the value of one or more fields based on a lookup of other fields. (What does that even mean, Darryl?) Well, let's say that you use Components to not only assign tickets to the Component Lead when a ticket is created, but you also need to designate an Executor per Component that will carry…

So yesterday a user accidentally deleted a pagetree containing 160 pages. The question was, how to restore all of those pages without having to click "Restore" and "OK" 160 times. The answer? The venerable @Bob Swift {Appfire}'s Confluence CLI! How to restore a single page with CLI CLI does not have a function to restore a…

Ever since Automation for Confluence came out, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what it actually might be useful for. Well, I was inspired by this question about hiding page history. Anyways, here's yet another article that nobody asked for. :-} Confluence has long had the ability to Share a space externally…

So I have a scheduled job that does a search, and returns the list of issues in: {{#issues}} The JQL query sorts by Component, and what we'd love to do is send a weekly email report of issues separated out by Component. It currently looks like this: And what I'd really like is for all of the Workday tickets to be together…

Let me just cut to the chase: I built a thing. https://darryl.com/team23/ (Apologies for the crosspost, @Jimmy Seddon) So ... @Peter Van de Voorde was hoping there would be like a Google Calendar kind of grid-like view of the sessions, and also, sorry Atlassian, but the session browser…

Hey there - I'm kind of the opposite of new to Jira (started in like 2007 or 2008). What never changes though is that there's always something new to learn in Jira. Here in the Community there are always interesting challenges that I haven't run into before, and are fun to take on. Lately I've been happy to spend time…

Does anyone know of an add-on (ideally for Server and Cloud) that can somehow include an a Jira Attachment in Confluence? Like, I would like a list of Jira Issues, based on a filter or JQL query, like the built in Jira Issues Macro can do, or Custom Jira Charts for Confluence or Table Filter and Charts. BUT I would like a…

So my friend @Mourad Marzouk asked in the Adaptavist forum: * How to use script runner to parse a wiki style table in a multi-text field But because Groovy makes my head hurt, I went ahead and posted an answer on how to do it with Automation, which well... probably belongs here. Also, I think this is a simpler solution for…

Oh hey, one of the concerns with using the Web Request action is that if your request requires authentication, then your password or token is visible to all Jira Administrators and more troubling, to Project Administrators (who maybe only needed that permission to add/manage Versions or Components/Leads.) The issue…

Hey there! I had an amazing time at this conference. I recall that when it was all virtual, it was possible to download copies of presentation decks alongside all the videos. Would it be possible to do this for any of the in-person presentations? Specifically, I'd love to get the slides from the excellent How to purge…

@Stefan Salzl had an interesting question as part of this discussion that I think I figured out the answer to. Stefan's post: Description of the behaviour: I want to add more than 1 labels from one issue to another one (eg. from parent to child) whereas the let´s say the child already got 2 labels and the parent has 2…

Hi - Confluence Server 7.13.0. I've been inserting announcement banners on the site just like always: How to add a site-wide banner Users noticed something odd last time around. When editing a page, the div for the banner appears to be causing the div for "savebar-container" (which contains the [Update] and [Close]…

HUH not sure why this article has comments closed. It's kind of a big deal and I wanted to tag in some folks: REST APIs and webhooks: deprecation of the Epic Link, Parent Link and other related fields Yo, @Bill Sheboy and @John Funk did you see this? Deprecated behavior: For issues in company-managed…

Can Confluence Cloud + Access be configured so that SSO is required, but with Anonymous Access to allow a larger subset of corp users to view a site, but not edit?Scenario: Company Intranet (old-school - managed by HR/Corp Comms/etc) Only HR/Corp Comms/etc team would need read/write Everybody else in company should be…

I mean... nothing since last July? I know it's the pandemic and all, but ... NYC is actually hosting and running virtual events. I've even attended one of them. Maybe we're too comfortable out here, with our t-shirts, shorts, and sandals weather. No? Well then, please discuss. ;-}

So, this is an oldie, but I like the excuse to be a crotchety old man: Without saying your age, what is something you remember from your childhood that a younger person would not understand? When I wanted to dial a BBS, I had to check if the number was a local call or not, otherwise I'd get in trouble. (I never got into…

We are working with Onna eDiscovery Tools to "scan" (capture) data from Confluence. We have a few spaces that are archived, and we plan to archive more as part of a clean-up effort. When I pointed Onna at an archived space (DMPKB), it came back with 0 pages scanned. So then I tried using Bob Swift's ACLI to also look at an…

So, I love swag. But I'm also a hoarder. This is not a good combination. I blame my parents, of course. :-} My mom is inveterate bargain shopper, and is constantly on the lookout for cheap items that "will be perfect for [sons, ever-suffering daughter-in-laws, grandkids, nephews, nieces, family friends, people at…

So it's a little late now, and I know we're all hoping to be seeing each other in person next year, but I can't help but think that there were some hugely missed opportunities in "virtual space" for conferences like Team 2021. While it makes sense that sessions are pre-recorded and playback is on-demand so that nobody has…

While we're on the subject of swag... wasn't one of the options a donation to some charity or another? I think that's a really cool option. I recently got an invite to Deviniti's Jira Day, and noticed this bit: Your participation matters - for each active Jira Day member we will donate 1$ for a chosen charity! That's…

Well... huh. I had some thoughts. Feel free to discuss. Or not. * Interesting choice to analyze the civil rights movement of the 60s vs Black Lives Matter from an organizational standpoint. I guess that's keeping things "current", but I feel like it's possibly trivializing the gravity of what those movements we're and are…

Soo.... I was reluctant to "chase" this badge because I didn't think I really had 5 interesting things to post about, but last night I came up with some stuff and thought wrote up the last ones before the "2 hours left" expired. But alas, no badge. :-/ Also, I'm kind of missing the old badge gallery that let you see what…

So... I've got this All Access Pass, and I watched all the keynotes and interviews. But I've only watched 2 sessions. I've bookmarked 25 sessions, but honestly, that's a lot of content. So glad I have until December to watch them. That being said, does anybody have sessions they loved? I watched "Introducing the Loop: A…

I wrote a very very belated post about it: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/San-Francisco-Bay-Area/So-quiet-in-here/td-p/1654940#M99 tl;dr - I posted funny tweets. Won a "day off" with other Atlassian users, hosted by Atlassian. Drove go karts. Won by not crashing. Ate delicious food. Missed out on the sailboat cruise.…

Has the API or CLI ever supported the ability to find Issue Type Schemes that are not associated with any projects? In the UI, I can see Schemes with "No Projects" listed. But all of them show as Deletable. And I've got an old auditing script that calls this: acli --action getIssueTypeSchemeList --columns "Delete Enabled,…

One thing that bugs me a bit about Kudos is the Trophy case seems both broken and possibly incomplete. You can't scroll down to read the details of a trophy: And then sometimes I see something like this (congratuations @Ollie Dawes) and I think, wait, did I already get that one? What is it? Is there some new pilot I can…
