How to populate the Sprint field in a KanBan-based project.

[cthompson_alfresco]

I have a project in JIRA v7.6.3 which was created as a KanBan project. I now want to use the sprint field so I can include tickets in other, Scrum-based projects. However, the Sprint field is locked and not available to populate. I'm assuming this is because the project was created using KanBan templates.

I have tried changing all the config schemes on this project to schemes that I used in Scrum-based projects, but nothing seems to allow the Sprint field to be populated. I can't see a way to Edit at the project-level, to change 'KanBan' to 'Scrum' because it's just stored as a "Software" project and nothing more specific.

I don't want to re-create the project and have to migrate the tickets. Is there a way to change the settings or the configuration to make the Sprint field available?

Edit is not a workflow transition and doesn't have post-functions

You could find or write a listener to pick up "issue updated", check the data and make the updates you need, or move the edit into workflow transitions.  I'd use the script-runner add-on to do it.

Hi Nic,

I have removed edit permission for all users and added new transition as edit with transition view same as edit issue screen such that field values can be rendered from the epic link (added post function to render these values and two edit  buttons are not allowed).

With the above process I am not able to render values. I think disabling edit issue permission is blocking to render values from the epic link.

Is there anyway I can render values from epic link, Please suggest.

Thanks

You don't need to remove the edit permission, just remove the fields from the edit screen.
