Calendar in Work Management available in JIRA Core

[Chris Covert]

Hello,

We have JIRA Cloud. 90% of our JIRA projects are classic software projects. The new Work Force Management projects have a calendar (which shows up on the left menu). 

Is there a setting to give this calendar to a classic software project?

We are also using Team Calendars plug-in for Confluence (which is great). Does the WFM calendar support spreading an issue over multiple days like Team Calendars? (a 3 day long issue based has a line indicator that stretches across the 3 days?)

Thank You.

Chris

Hello Dagfinn,

To make sure that we are on the same page I would like to confirm that your are looking for a feature to add Stories/bugs to the Test Cycle? As per the functionality of Zephyr for JIRA the Test Cycles will accommodate only the issues of type TEST so as to cumulate the testcases to be executed that are planned by cycle. Adding Stories/bugs to the test cycles is not possible within Zephyr for JIRA. 

As per your query => "Search for stories/bugs that are in the scope of the coming test cycle, and based on the filter result (remember; still looking at stories and bugs, not tests) can create a test cycle with all the tests connected to the listed stories/bugs and can create a test cycle with all the tests connected to the listed stories/bugs". This can be achieved not directly but If you can organize stories/bugs in such a way that you can find out the Testcases as links, then you can search for them to associate with TestCycles as required manually.

Note : To get IssueFunction hasLinks() in JQL "Script Runner" plugin is installed.

Hi, and thanks for your reponse. We have started using a plugin called "Craftware Search Linked Issues for JIRA". With this we can do the following: - set up a search filter that picks out the stories and bugs we want to test in our next test cycle - use the plugin-function "linkedIssuesFromFilter" with parameters FilterName and LinkType - FilterName is the name of the filter that returns the bugs and stories we want to test - LinkType is the custom link "Testing" (is testing/is tested by) The returned search result gives us the tests that will be apllicable in the certain context, and we can use it to create the new test cycle. Thank God for plugins..!
