Jira CLI RunFromCsv won't recognize board parameter

[Jennifer D. Smith]

I have a script that I run periodically to load new sprints in bulk. Recently the parameter names have changed, and I've updated them, but now runFromCsv just doesn't recognize the board parameter (formerly id). When I use the same board parameter in a createSprint action without runFromCsv it works fine.

What is wrong with "board"?


command:

acli -a runFromCsv --file "working.csv" --common "-a createSprint" --continue

csv format:

board,name
72,Team 1 - 22.2.1
70,Team 2 - 22.2.1

sample output:

Run: --name "Team 1 - 22.2.1" -a createSprint
Parameter error: This function requires a non-blank value for parameter board.
 

I tried a different command and reordered the columns, same error:

acli -a runFromCsv --common "-a addQuickFilter" --file "test.csv" --continue

csv:

filter,board,jql
test2,487,type=Bug
test3,487,type=Sub-task

 output:

Run: --filter "test2" --jql "type=Bug" -a addQuickFilter
Parameter error: This function requires a non-blank value for parameter board.

It sounds like you are looking to create a seperate board for the non technical people.

1. Create a new board
2. Modify the filter on the board  to only include EPICS.
   -project = "Enter Project name here" AND issuetype = Epic ORDER BY Rank
3. Configure the board to have only the three columns (To-do, Doing, Done).

Hi Colm and thanks for the quick answer.

The problem is that I cannot open the sprint because I don't know how to add Epics to it. I cannot add stories either because of the filter.

Thanks

Generally, you don't add Epics to sprints, you add their stories and that draws them in naturally.

The board for the Epics that Colm suggests is the right way to go though, it'll tell the users what the current status are.

[Angel Bartomeu]

Yes Nic. But I cannot open a Sprint without stories and I cannot add stories because of the filter of my board.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Eh?  Sorry, I don't understand what you're doing now.

You should have a board with stories on it.  That's where most of your users work.  You can group stories into epics in there.

Your question was about creating a view for just Epics.  As Colm already said - create a new Kanban board which only shows the Epics.
