Scrum to Kanban

[Kim Lavery]

My company are using Jira and use SCRUM sprint but realize we would be better served with Kanban instead.  If I disable the 'Sprint' option in project settings of my active sprint, will it convert it to Kanban and all our refined stories would retain their current status or would I need to reset all the statuses and will I loose story history?

It looks like the email templates Jira uses are Velocity templates which are not supported by the "Send a Custom Email" script.

I will raise a feature request for a way to allow users to create an email template which they can use and re-use whenever they want to within the "Send a Custom Email" built in script.

It does not look like connecting a new event to the issue updated template is going to send an exact copy of the default Jira email. I did notice that the fields that were missing are portfolio related so I wonder if that has anything to do with them not showing in the default Issue Updated template that you can connect a custom event to.

It looks like the best option currently is try and build an "Email Template" that uses the issue change history to detect the fields that changed and then put them into the "Email template" body.
