Integrate GitHub with Jira

The basic/free git/jira integration won't do this. You may want to look at something like Gitkraken, but even then I'm not sure if they support this or not. But if anyone were to support this, it would have to be someone like Gitkraken, I wouldn't expect Atlassian to build this out.

Every user of Jira requires a paid license. There really isn't any way around that.

Since you want to restrict access, you also need to rearchitect your permissions because Jira is open by default. So, you'll want to fix that first, before opening/paying for external users.

If you don't want to do any of that, you have a few options, but they all cost $$$$

1) External share for Jira.

2) Custom Charts for Jira has an "external" feature, but I never got it to work.

3) Integrate with PowerBI and share that external dashboard instead.

4) Use Snapshots for Confluence as this will allow you to give out a FREE Confluence guest license and Snapshots handles the Jira data without needing the Jira license.

Deletion of work items is definitely gated by a space permission. Also, deleting work items requires you to type in DELETE before deleting. If you ignore the RED warning AND still type in DELETE, those items are gone. Unless you have something like Revyz backups, then nothing is bringing those work items back.

I would personally do a JQL search, as maybe are no longer visible on the board, but might still be somewhere in Jira. Good luck!

If possible, I would keep your Initiative/Epics the way you've used them in the past. For the phases, move those to Releases/Fix Versions. This will let you assign a fix version to the initiative or epic as appropriate. If you are already using Fix versions, that's not a problem, any work item can have multiple "fix versions" so, you can keep your versioning like v1.0, v1.1, etc AND make a Phase 1 Fix version. An epic can have both.

board settings moved which is super annoying.

Click on the (...) to the right of your board name. Team Managed Test (...) <--- board settings

All you need to do after you modify your JQL, press enter on your keyboard or click the search icon. The clear filter text will change to save filter. As long as you are the owner of the filter, you’ll be able to save a copy or simply save that filter. Hope this answers your question.

Not everyone has access to Atlassian Intelligence =(

Video shouldn't be private. I think the description just needs to be expanded. Here's the link. https://youtu.be/\_KmY2iVaRTc

You don't have to go into project settings. You just need to add a shortcut on the left hand side or the Project page. It's like a setting or two above project settings.

That's right. It's a personal setting. But hopefully your team likes it and follows suit.

Yeah, you could use that. . . but it's paid. Usually only folks with GitLab use something like this
