Can't see Story option while creating an issue

[Charlie]

Hi,

I've created a number of projects in Jira, they were all created as Basic Software projects, this option does not provide the "story" option when creating an issue. It looks like under the Scrum option it does, is it possible to enable stories in the Basic option or is it possible to convert the project from Basic to Scrum?

Thanks

Well, if you already have the issue created you may use Bob Swift's CLI plugin. Using this tool, you can copy issue's key field and paste it to the custom field. First method would only work for the future issues.

Thanks -- I'll do that.

Hello Bryan,

I think you can try the following if you get the "JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions" plugin. It's free:

• Create a new custom field and name it "Original Id"
• In the workflow, edit "create" transition
• Add "Copy Value From Field to Field" post function
• Copy "Key" to the new custom field

This way you have your original key stored in a seperate field.

Best regards

Bryan,

You can copy the key to custom field within same project by moving issues to a test status and back to original. Then move issues from one project to another.

Thanks,

You'd want to put the custom field on the view screen only or make it a read only field so users don't mess with the value. However, I think the original intent was to do it when the issue is moved to a new project.

Thanks guys -- yes, I want to move issues to a new project, and retain original key in a custom field. I followed the above tips, but it is not populating the field. I'm guessing an issue move is not considered a workflow task (or at least not a create new issue task?)
