250 projects use the same issue type scheme. In this issue type scheme, Bug is the only issue type that contains the Story Point field. All 250 projects have a notification scheme.
When I add the Story Point field to all other issue types, what are the effects?
Will this create a huge email storm because all issues will change? Am I correct in assuming that?
Hey @Helpdesk ,
In short - no, just adding the Story Point field to the relevant 'Create' & 'Edit/View' screens will not send email notifications to users
Users can be notified you choose to bulk change issues (e.g adding a new 'Story Points' value for all issues without a value) - but even here, you have the option to unselect 'send email to notify of the change'
The only emails from users I could forsee are from ones who have noticed the new 'Story Points' field on the 'Creation' screen, and we're not informed of the update,
I'd recommend ensuring team/project leads are aware of the change and why the field is being added across all projects
- Team/project leads will act almost as a first line of defence and help reduce the amount of questions that come through to you
Hope this helps some! :)
