Jira Administration

Some things I have setup in Jira to make life better for me, with the way we work.


Use Case 1: You should not close a story when sub tasks are not complete

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done

"All sub-tasks must have one of the following statuses to allow parent issue transitions:" (All done statuses)


Use Case 2: You should not close a story until the blocker or impediment is resolved.

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done

"Value Field"

The field Flagged will have to be not equal to value '"Impediment"'. Compared as String.


Use Case 3: Set resolution when completing an item.

Why? If no resolution is set some reports and metrics don't calculate correctly.

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Done

Post Function, Status Category = Done

JMWE The value(s) of field Resolution of the current issue will be set to Done (unless the field already has a value). Run as add-on user.

The Epic Status of the issue will be set to Done.

OR

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Will not do (abandoned, not needed, etc.)

Post Function, Status Category = Rejected

JMWE The value(s) of field Resolution of the current issue will be set to Won't Do (unless the field already has a value). Send notification. Run as add-on user.

The Epic Status of the issue will be set to Done.

Use Case 4: Copy settings for sub-tasks that should match parents to save time

Post Function, Status Category = As many as possible

JMWE "Copy field value from parent issue (JMWE add-on)"

  1. The value(s) of field Assignee will be set from the issue's parent Assignee field (unless the field already has a value). Send notification. Run as add-on user.
  2. The value(s) of field Team Name will be set from the issue's parent Team Name field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.
  3. The value(s) of field Deliverable will be set from the issue's parent Deliverable field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.
  4. The value(s) of field Planned Quarter will be set from the issue's parent Planned Quarter field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.

How do I find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud?

So you need to find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud. Perhaps you need the ID for a custom field to work on soem code, an API call or a script. How do you find it? You can find the ID in the URL when managing custom fields Jira - Settings - Issues - Fields - Custom Fields https://***.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewCustomFields.jspa Select "Edit" on the desired custom field .../admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=12802 There you go! It is that number at the end of the URL Alternately, you can use ScriptRunner Jira - Setttings - Add-ons - Script Runner - Script Console and run the following def issueKey = '***-####' def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)         .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')         .asObject(Map) if (result.status == 200){     return result.body.fields } else {     return "Failed to find issue: Status: ${result.status} ${result....

The dreaded "Clone" in Jira

Jira Cloud Scrum Teams Case: We clone template issues, as our work is repetitive, and get “clone” in the summary and it makes it hard to read. Built-In Jira allows you to remove "Clone" from the story you are cloning, but if you are also copying the sub-tasks there is not the option to remove it. There are ways to turn this off in Jira Server, but I could not find it in Jira cloud. Solution: Jira - Settings - Add-Ons - ScriptRunner - Escalation Service The Escalation Service called: Remove Clone In Summary As this user: (myself) Checked - enabled On this schedule: Every Hour For first 50 results returned by this query:  Project in (pipe) and Summary ~ "CLONE" Will run this code:  // check if issue.fields.summary looks like "CLONE -" def updatedSummary ="" if (issue.fields.summary.startsWith("CLONE -")) {     //if so, modify issue.fields.summary to not suck.     updatedSummary = issue.fields.summar...

What is Agile and How Can I Use it Well?

I gave a talk at BSidesLV 2018 In the "Proving Ground" track for new speakers "What is Agile and How Can I Use it Well?" Are you a person who works with Agile developers? Are they driving you nuts? This presentation will explain the core tenets of Agile and how they apply to you, the security wonk. What you may not realize is that at its core Agile is about delivering a product, fast. Agile teams are focused on delivering a minimal viable product, getting feedback, and improving both the product and the process through iterative and continuous improvement. With a keen understanding of Agile forged in the trenches of large deployments, this presentation shows you how to effectively scale your team in order to have security be an integrated part of the Agile iterations.
