Sprints are "linked" across projects -- how to unlink?

[Mirko Raner]

I am aware of this question, but, frankly, other than emphasizing and re-emphasizing that "Sprints belong to boards not projects" and "Issues do not belong to boards", the given answers provide little practical advice as to how the problem can be fixed. (Also, I'm not 100% that my issue is really the same.)

So, here goes my problem: we originally only had one project, SP, but then later added two more projects, FE and HF. Each project is supposed to be on it's own sprint cycle. On the "Projects" page I see all three projects, each with their own board. When we originally split out the new projects from the original SP project, everything went well for the HF project, but the FE project and the SP project are still somehow linked. Specifically, it appears that both projects share the same sprint objects. This manifests itself in the fact that starting an SP sprint will also start the FE sprint (and vice versa). Also, when I change the name of the FE sprint, it will also change the name of the SP sprint, and vice versa. So, for all intents and purposes, it appears that the FE sprint and the SP sprint are really one and the same object (though they do show the correct issues in their respective boards). This linkage appears to be retained for all future sprints as well. As I stated earlier, each project has its own board, so I'm not sure what else to check.

How can I separate the SP and FE sprints from each other?

Hi Brian,

this is not possible in Tempo.

You can create a JIRA filter based on labels, view the Filter in the "Advanced Timesheet" and export the data to Excel.

@Susanne Götz [Tempo] , can you explain in greater detail how I can view the filter in "Advanced Timesheet" as you described above?  I am new to Tempo and I don't see that as a option anywhere.

Hi @Pete P ,

The Advanced Timesheet does no longer exist in Tempo 9.x and later. It has been replaced by the JQL filter Report.

To use this functionality, create a filter in JIRA and save it. Then go to Tempo, Reports, select the JQL filter Report and select your saved filter in the dropdown. 
You can also do this by selecting the Custom Report and select JQL filters in the "Filter" dropdown (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/297206386/Filtering+Information+in+Reports+-+Tempo+Server)

In case you are using a version before Tempo 9, the functionality is similar. Please take a look at https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TEMPO/pages/365199973/Advanced+Timesheet for the documentation for the Advanced timesheet.

Thanks @Susanne Götz _Tempo_  I appreciate this.  You have been very kind to reply so quickly.

Dear @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ 

my TEMPO works differently: I cannot save any filter in JQL but only directly from TEMPO view.

Could you please support me?

regards

Hi @Fabio Paglianti ,

The option to create and save jql filters is a JIRA functionality (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver/saving-your-search-as-a-filter-939937724.html).

A saved jql filter can then be viewed in the Tempo Reports by selecting it in the "Filter by" field. (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/293865458/Creating+and+Accessing+Saved+Reports+-+Tempo+Server).

It is then possbile to save the Tempo Report (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/296649823/Saving+and+Deleting+Reports+-+Tempo+Server).

Regards,

Susanne

Dear @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ 

thank but following your instruction I cannot add any custom field to TEMPO REPORT - the reason why I want to use JQL.

Could you please detail me how to do add a custom field in FIELD BY filter?

regards

[Susanne Götz _Tempo_]

Hi @Fabio Paglianti

It is not possible to add custom fields directly to the Tempo Reports, but they can be added to the export of reports.

To do this, please select the custom fields that should be added to the export in JIRA Administration, Add-ons, Tempo - Custom fields. Please take also a look at https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/459473623/Custom+Fields+Configuration+-+Tempo+Server

Regards,

Susanne

dear @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ 

mmmhhh

I am looking at ADMIN view in JIRA and I did not find any add-ons submenu.

Could you please direct me to the right menu?

@Fabio Paglianti 

Are you using the Server or the Cloud version?

Hi,

this seems not to be solved? @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ 

I am facing a similar issue, I want to create an excel export that shows me the column labels. I created a custom field in Jira and added it to the custom fields in the tempo settings, however, when I export a report the label column stays empty (for issues and epics).

Can this be solved?

Thanks,

Alessio
