Commit reference upon resolving a public issue on a private repository

[Mathias Brodala]

Given the following setup:

• Private repository
• Public issue tracker
• A commit is pusshed to the repository containing something like "Fixes #NNN"

This would normally mark issue NNN as resolved. But would it also contain a reference to the resolving commit (shown as "→ <<cset SHA1>>") in this setup?

As written in the comments, this can not be achieved with the built in tracker on Bitbucket, only with JIRA.

Yes, you will have a commit tab for the JIRA issue and that will show all commits as well as hyperlinks back to the original github or bitbucket commits.

Good to know. Is there a way to fix issues via commit messages as usual but not have a commit reference appear in the issue? Sometimes the reporter is not supposed to see the exact change.

[Mathias Brodala]

Could you give me a hint about my question?

You cannot prevent a single commit from showing up on a single issue. However, you can set the "View Development Tools" permissions in a way that some users cannot see the commit tab at all.

[Mathias Brodala]

Where are these "View Development Tools" located? They are nowhere to be found in the repository settings.

[aMarcus]

This is part of the permission scheme in JIRA on your project.

[Mathias Brodala]

What about the internal issue tracker for Bitbucket repositories? There are no such options available for that one.

[aMarcus]

That is correct. The Bitbucket issue tracker has a limited set of features compared to the full featured JIRA. Sorry that I misunderstood this in your original request.

[Mathias Brodala]

So this feature cannot be achieved by the built in tracker on Bitbucket, am I correct?

[aMarcus]

Correct. The Bitbucket issue tracker will not have this feature.
