Clear Votes

[Ben]

Is there a way to clear all votes when using the Voting Power up?

I tried to disable it to start over, but that does nothing. It still even shows the old votes when doing that.  Thanks!

Hi Soumyadeep,

Unfortunately, this does not address the question. I am looking to clear ALL votes. This only talks about an individual taking back their personal vote.

My hack solution was to copy every card and archive the cards with the votes. That leaves a card without any votes. It is not ideal. It is very manual and now every comment is attributed to me (because I was the one did the copying). It did get the job done well enough though.

@Ben note that in order to copy all cards in a list, you can just copy the list:

Easy. Use 'Butler' >>

Create a new 'Board Button' and use the following:

create a new list named "old", move all the cards in list "Retro Safety Check" to list "old", copy all the cards in list "old" to list "Retro Safety Check", and archive list "old"

In the above example I can a single common list called 'Retro Safety Check' I wanted the team to vote on by-weekly.

This then gives a nice clean button at the top of the board and does exactly what you want.

Hope this helps!

Hi James

I tried your suggestion and the votes are copies as well:

create a new list named "old", move all the cards in list "Agenda items" to list "old", copy all the cards in list "old" to list "Agenda items", and archive list "old"

Is anything else that needs to be done?

Thanks

Looks like Atlassian updated the metadata of what is coped. This no longer works for me either now. It was a 'feature' for me at the time that it 'didn't' copy the votes over when you copied cards.

Unfortunately it now does.
