A problem with the user and multi-user picker fields, is that when you edit an issue you cannot see the display names of the selected users (JRASERVER-31023). This is a problem for organisations that use machine-generated or otherwise obscure user names… common in large companies. When this is the case the user field will…

Recently while visiting a customer, we were presented with an interesting use case from some of their internal teams using JIRA for software development. In an attempt to better handle the work that is coming through their pipeline, they wanted an easy way to show the sum of the Original Estimates of JIRA issues in each…

Anything that was imported from the previous site with code sections is broken, eg: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Updating-a-custom-field-using-groovy-script-runner/qaq-p/256708 Characters like > and < are displayed in the code as html character entities, like >. This is hard to spot, and leads to…

For example on this question: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/JIRA-questions/Groovy-Script-validator-for-user-and-a-field/qaq-p/461960 Why is "answers closed", what does it mean, and if they are closed why is the Answer button still there, yet does nothing when clicked? Note that the Answers Closed lozenge is no longer…

In the bug workflow on j.a.c there is a state "Soaking". Does anyone have any docco on what this means? I'd guess it means that the fix is in the source, and other devs have pulled it, and is deployed to internal dog-fooding instances. If so I'd quite like to reuse this idea internally. Similarly, there is a label "Slush".…

Just a curiosity in the stash UI... if you have a pull request with file conflicts, the instructions it gives you are to manually merge your changes from "topic" to "master" (or whatever... source to target). I'm wondering why it's that and not the commands to merge from master to topic (or rebase topic on master). The…

I normally get quite a lot of notifications from AAC but I haven't had any since yesterday afternoon, despite quite a few new questions with tags I follow. Is this just me?

I am not. It's much harder to use. The new editor is very slightly better, but doesn't make up for all the other disadvantages. After a spell when Atlassian pulled out all the stops to make sure the migration was successful, the pace of improvements seemed to have dropped to zero. On a personal level, I am perpetually…

This has got to be one of those "is it just me?" questions, but I don't see how I change custom fields after creation of a ticket. I'm not a customer of JSD, the only time I come in to contact with it is when using Atlassian support, which maybe explains it. @Joe Wai Tye [Atlassian] recently provided me some sterling help…

Morning... Question that has been rattling around Atlassian support for a while and not getting any traction. We have a select list custom field associated with two projects, through one conext. That is, the options for the select are the same for both projects. This was a mistake, it should have been two different…

I'm talking about a virtual machine (ovf) that you could just download and fire up in your hypervisor of choice. Basically something like the OnDemand offering but for companies whose compliance officers don't let them store data offsite. So this could contain all the Atlassian products, all configured (ie dragon quest…

Was there anything new there that really gets you going? I liked the inline comments in Confluence... I think it's been crying out for that for a long time. Previously we used sticky notes to fulfil a similar need, unfortunately due to browser quirks it wasn't a perfect implementation. I was a little underwhelmed by the…
