It's Thursday! Alright, I am going to write this memory, even though it is a terribly behavior that I was anticipating on executing. When I started school at age 6, I remember thinking to myself that I would show up at school, beat up the girls and telling the teacher to shut up and mind his own business. That was how I,…

It's Thursday!Well, it has been a week since yet another legendary Atlassian Team went down. I was blessed with the opportunity to attend in person in Vegas. What an epic event and so full of announcements! I was really impressed with the announcement of AI, which they are calling "Atlassian Intelligence". I was also happy…

It's Thursday! Okay, this is a strange one, I know 🙂 But when I was vacuuming the stairs earlier, I all of sudden got this memory flash from when I was about 6-8 years old. I lived at Suðurgata 23, in Hafnarfjörður, and I loved playing with cars (like Matchbox cars, etc). My siblings used to collect the Coke bottle tops…

It's Thursday! That time of the year again, which happens to be my favorite! Spring and cleaning go together like Confluence and Jira :) Here is a guide to get you going. And @Darryl Lee wrote a great article on how to employ CLI in (spring) cleaning as well as his experience of tidying up one instance.So, what is your…

It's Thursday! It has been an awesome Team week and the dawn is breaking for the last day. We all know what that means: PARTY tonight!So lets see some pictures from your in Vegas attendance or screenshots from your virtual attendance :) Or even pictures from past Team events!Let’s make it a great Bash Thursday!KGM

It's Thursday! There are only 2,937,600 seconds, which are 48,960 minutes, which are 816 hours, which are 34 days until Team '23! I am getting super excited. If you haven't registered yet, then hop on over to this page. Last year was my 2nd Team that I've attended and it was my favorite (of the two!). And the reason being…

It's Thursday! Everyone doing great?!? Hope so. Okay, today we are gonna be talking color and clothes :) If I had to pick one color for ALL my clothes for the rest of my life, I think I would pick blue. I really love cars that are "midnight blue". I would probably try to get that color.So, if all your clothes had to be…

It's Thursday! Yup, it is that time of the week again. We have almost made it to the weekend :) Ok, last week we talked about our birthday and month but this week I want to focus on our favorite month or season. I just love, love, LOVE spring. Everything is coming to live again after being dormant during winter. The fresh…

It's Thursday! In Iceland, the youngest you can be to drive legally on the streets is 15 and it is a license to operate a 50cc or less motorcycle/moped. We of course always called it a motorcycle. This beauty was my first motorcycle. It was amazing how much freedom all of a sudden came into my life. I was able to easily go…

It's Thursday! Can you believe it?!? This is the 100th #TBT post!Man, I´ve had so much fun walking down memory lanes with you guys. Thank you for all your comments, stories, and neat memories. So, what is your favorite #TBT post?Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I remember going to watch "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" back in 1977. Then in 1978, my family and I visited the Unites States. I believe it was there that my parents bought me some of the plastic figures from Star Wars. Horrible, out of focus picture here. I remember…

It's Thursday! Heck yeah! I have registered for Team '23 and I am stoked. Very much looking forward to it. If you haven't, then you can save 50% off for a limited early bird period. Go over here to sign up. My first time was Summit 2019 in Vegas. I didn't know anybody but on the plane from Florida, I sat next to couple of…

It's Thursday! I think this was the first real bike that I got (i.e. not a trike). Check out 'em Swedish handlebars and the color :) I really thought that bike was as cool as it could be!Soooo, what was your first bicycle? Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! It just snowed last night and it made me think of when I lived at Suðurgata 23 in Hafnarfirði. The row of houses behind our street were situated higher than us. There was this one corner of our yard that I was able to go on top of the garage and showel snow down into that corner. I would make a snow house…

Hi Community. One of my team member asked if Agents are able to change the Customer (i.e. the Reporter of the issue) on an already created JSM issue. In this use case, the Customer does have a Jira Software license and the Agent has "Modify Reporter" permission. Looks to me like this is not possible. Oh, and the What say…

It's Thursday! So, if you want to what the talk of the town is in Iceland (take the nation's pulse), then you go to the public swimming pools and sit down in the hot tubs. The old folks show up way early but the younger folk at the end of the day. Or anytime on Saturdays. Few years ago, I went to the pool. Swam some laps…

It's Thursday! Hey good people. I hope that your week has been going well. Okay, todays question is a TBT in a sense that your answer will probably be based on your memories, some moment in your youth/childhood, or affected by your past in some other way :) For example, when I was growing up the Marvel universe was a bit…

Hi community. Hope you are having a great day. I know that on Jira Server, there used to be "read-only" info custom field type. Don't see it in Cloud. So, is there a way to make headers in a Jira tab, like the green arrows point to in this mock-up? If so, how can that be done? Thanks, KGM

It's Thursday! It's almost time for a new year. Want to thank you guys for all the fun memories you have shared with me and the rest of the community during 2022. It has been a fun ride sharing these memories with you all.Ok, this is not a crazy story, more of a sad story. About 15 years ago, my mom was able to purchase a…

It's Thursday! Gleðileg jól to those who celebrate Christmas this weekend. 'Tis the season to be jolly! Some of you can maybe remember the movie and relate to the below giphy :)Here is a picture of me celegrating Christmas with my mom's ginger bread house, probably taken in 1974. I know that not everyone celebrates…

It's Thursday! The 1987-1988 school year, I was an exchange student in Arizona. I was a senior and the school was a walking distance from the house where my host family lived (not that it matter because they drove to school anyways...). We were three seniors and then a sophomore living in that house (+ a younger girl). It…

It's Thursday! Happy turkey day to all of those living in North America! Hope y'all are having a great holiday. Share with us some of those Thanksgiving food goodies you are eating this year. Pictures, please :) Or maybe some pictures from Thanksgiving past. Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! As many of you know, I come from Iceland. Icelandic is spoken in Iceland. Few years ago, when I was on a work trip in Iceland, I saw some of the "The Three Investigators" books in Icelandic at Kolaportið (flea market). That brought back some memories! I used to read them in the early 80's as a youth. So I…

I just noticed that my fellow country woman Hólmfríður Birna Sigurðardóttir joined the Community very short time ago and wanted to give her a proper welcome: Velkomin í hópinn @Hólmfríður Birna Sigurðardóttir ! Þú ert á réttum stað :) Bless í bili, KGM

It's Thursday! The other week I posted this picture of me, when I was 6 years old, on the #Random Slack channel at work just for fun: Someone told me I looked like young Anakin Skywalker! So, who is your celebrity look-alike?Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM 

It's Thursday! In Iceland, a nickname for Kristján is Stjáni and I got called that by my friends (and some of my old friends still call me that). In 1987, however, I went to America to be an exchange student for a year. Just before I arrived, one of the sons in the family was talking to his friend about my arrival. And the…

Hi all. I'd like to share 3 features that I thing would be... to have in Jira Service Management: * Ability to limit which values are viewable on Select List (cascading) and Select List (single select) in Portal configuration (i.e. on the Request forms). Use case: not every Request is the same and this give us admins a…

It's Thursday! Weekend is just around the corner... We didn't have a lot of TV shows in Iceland in the late 70's and early 80's but I do remember seeing The A-Team somewhere. I would for sure pick Mr. T as one of my friends!And I think Doc Brown would also be there :) How cool would that be to hang out with a character…

It's Thursday! Reason for the topic of this #TBT is that last week the wife and I moved into our new house. Some of our experiences were similar to this one... The house I grew up in had been owned by my parents for 20 or so years when we moved. I was 11 when we moved. My grandparents had owned the house earlier and my…
