    • A Tale of Unmet Fears: Mid-Hierarchy Modifications for Not-Small Instances Using Codex

      Quick Summary My organization's engineering group is spread across ~44 team spaces plus one main space to hold our roadmap. Our hierarchy (which has been in use, with all the accumulated cruft that entails, for 5+ years), has been: Initiative (main project) Roadmap Item (main project) Epic (team projects) Story, Bug, etc.…

    • Display Contents of Confluence Page in another Instance

      A while back I realized that every time I'd start working at a new organization, I'd spend hours re-writing the same help docs over and over. I ended up setting up my own Confluence to store these, but now I've hit the logical conclusion of this madness: getting the content back into the new organization's Confluence. Does…

    • Reference Fields Using Variable in Automation for Jira

      To support our quarterly planning process, our "roadmap item" issues have two sets of custom fields for each development team: one to hold their involvement in that roadmap item ([Team Name] Delivery Commitment), and the other to hold the size of that involvement ([Team Name] SWAGfest Estimate). I have several automation…

    • Now Seeing "Linked Work Items" and "Child Work Items" Even When Empty? Could It Be?!?

      I don't see this listed anywhere in the Jira Cloud "release notes" (such as they are) but I got back from a week's vacation today and I am seeing sections for "Linked Work Items" and "Child Work Items" on issues even when there are no linked\child issues present. Is this part of some Rovo hallucination? Is everyone else…

    • Continual UI Changes: Salt in the Wound or Steps in the Right Direction?

      One of the biggest issues I have had\have\and suspect I will continue to have moving from Server to Cloud was\is change management. I definitely still have some PTSD from the silent change of maxResults but even beyond these once-in-a-while instance-shaking events, there is a near-constant stream of small "tweaks" we seem…

    • Check for a Linked Issue in Another Project Within a "Single Project" Scoped Automation Rule

      Question Has anyone found a way, as part of an Automation rule scoped to a single project, to check for the existence of a linked issue in another project? Context One of my project admins has a rule which, when a specific component is set on an issue, clones the issue into a new project, and good design would have us…

    • Is Jira One Product Or Several?

      Question for y'all: Do you consider Jira to be a single product with different "flavors" of projects to support different types of teams, or a set of distinct products which share a common (for lack of a better term) platform? Why I am asking this somewhat pedantic question? Glad you asked (and sorry for how long this is…

    • How Do You Do Sprint Metrics?

      I have been trying to find a way to do multi-team, mostly (or entirely) automated Sprint metrics for a long time now. I had a process that mostly worked for Jira Server\DC: * I built a google sheet with a set of pre-defined queries, one for each metric I wanted to collect. For example, to collect the initial commitment of…

    • When Did Project Type Get Locked At Creation?

      I've been a Jira administrator for a long time, but most of my experience has been on Server, with much shorter periods of being afflicted by Cloud. I recently joined an organization using Cloud, so I'm reconnecting with old annoyances but I recently came across one I did not remember before: not being able to change…

    • Historical Reporting Tool for JIRA?

      Has anyone found a good solution (in the shape of a JIRA plugin or integrated tool\service) which would allow my users to create historical\day-over-day reporting on JIRA data? We are currently doing this by exporting a filter on a regular basis and appending it to a dataset in Google Sheets, but it seems crazy to me that…
