Boards and how to change them to Agile

[Colleen Eccles]

Hi all, 
I am doing a training course on Jira and one thing that has confused me is that i cannot see a way to change the boards within our system from a classic board to an AGILE one,  I am set up as an admin user
We also use Jira Service - would that change any of my settings?

any pointers would be appreciated 

thanks :)

Hello Sreenivas P, No I didn't find it. If you check my latest comment here, you will see how I resolved it! :) Regards, Rosy

Hi Rosy, Did you get t api to get Date/Time field value related to the timezone of the connected user. If yes, can you please share it.

Thanks Alexey for the tip :) !

I got it using the following code:

ExtendedPreferences extPref = userPreferencesManager.getExtendedPreferences(authenticationContext.getUser());

log.debug("timeZone: " + extPref.getString(PreferenceKeys.USER_TIMEZONE));

Many thanks,

Rosy

For anyone looking this up as I was. Use the

authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()

instead of 

authenticationContext.getUser()

I cannot give you absolutely correct answer, but most possible, you should get user using

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/6.2.1/com/atlassian/jira/user/util/UserUtil.html

and then either check the user property or user preference (I have idea that it is the second)
