Archived issues (Data center)

[rsisauri]

Hello,
We want to archive some old issues, but frequently  for audit reasons people need to find certain tasks . 
Nowadays as i see, while archiving issues, you have few options to filter issues, like :

• Archived date
• all archivers
• project
• issue type
• reporter

This is so uncomfortable and also hindering for us. It is crucial  to filter archived issues by Key for sure . Because we have millions of issues and its impossible to export all issues to find several  ones for audit.  Can someone help us to find out how to improve this ?

Jira doesn't support it natively and really needs to before it can be seen as an "Enterprise" application. See the very old and very popular https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3821 for loads of workarounds. Frankly though Mizan's suggestion above is the best one I know of.

The priority field is a Jira field and appears almost everywhere where there is a issue viewed , for example issue navigator , Gadgets , reports , emails etc .So replacing it with a customfield is not a good option .

A work around that may be possible is to add priorities to the priority field which you want for your given project and based on the project display only those priorities on the issue create ,edit, transition screens for that project using Javascript or Behaviours plugin.

Thanks!

Do you have documentation on where I would add the JavaScript to filter out the unwanted options?

[Mizan]

If you want to add a javascript then adding by a web resource plugin will be a good option.

You can even consider Behaviours plugin it

The script should work on create , edit , transition screen .

Let me know if you need any further help
