Get Epics to show in Insights - Do tickets have to have story points?

[Maryellen Russo]

I don't see my Epic in the Insights section. Why?

• Company Managed Board
• I added the Sprint # to the Epic. 
• But tickets do NOT have story points. 

Is that why?  I just want to see the Epic with the Child Issue status.  High level. Same that you see on progress bars in the Epic itself.

Most of the default setups have the assignee as a field on the screen already, so you can set it. 

If it's missing, just add it to the "create" screen, but bear in mind it will only appear for users who have "assign issue to other people" permissions in the project.

Hi Nic, sorry, I confused with my question. What I want to ask is if I can change the first state when I create an issue.

I was working with someone who managed all my jira, and he couldn't do that. But I read somewhere that you can make a rule for that, for ex put a field with a tick. Can it be done?

(I don't know if I can change the title to correct it.)

No, you can't, natively.

You will need one of the add-ons that can (conditionally) transition to a second status after the initial creation.

EDIT: my bad did not see the conditional  part, nothing to be added here :p

Micky, I was referring to the second point, thanks anyway!

Hi Matias,

It's actually possible, you'll have to add the "Assignee" field to the screen associated with your Issue Type creation. Once done, Assignee will be an editable field, when creating :)

Screens are associated to actions (Create, Edit, View) for each issue type through Screen Schemes and Issue Type Screen Schemes. You can change all those through the admin panel :)

Hope this helps!

Cheers
