Jira upgrade

[Gilbert.ScottJr]

I need to know how to upgrade from Jira server v8.8.0 to v8.22.   Can we download the latest version of Jira server v8.22 or do we have to install other versions first?

Hi Jennifer,

You need to be admin of your instance to run curl.

Could you try to run these steps again?

1. Download curl library to your computer
2. Open your prompt/terminal

3. Run the curl

   curl -u username:password 'yourInstanceURL/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/SprintIDToChangeName' -X PUT -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' --data '{"name":"NewSprintName","startDate":"SprintStartDate","endDate":"SprintEndDAte"}'

   Where:

• username: your username to access your JIRA application
• password: your password to access your JIRA application
• yourInstanceURL: e.g.: http://mySite.atlassian.net
• SprintIDToChangeName: your sprint ID that you'd like to rename
• NewSprintName: your new sprint name
• SprintStartDate: in the following format... 06/Apr/14 8:00 PM
• SprintEndDate: in the following format... 06/Apr/14 8:00 PM
  

Then, just check if your sprint was renamed. 

If that does not work, please open a ticket at Atlassian SAC (support.atlassian.com) under JIRA Cloud that we will gladly change that for you.

Cheers!

Hi, 

How come we cannot rename old sprint? When I tried to rename the sprint uses rest API then I got the following error:

{"errorMessages":["Cannot update closed sprint"],"errors":{}}

As I need to rename the old sprint, because I restructure the sprint code.
