On create issue, set required fields dialog box being presented when all fields are set
Asked by Christina Parthenidou:

Hi everyone,

When an issue/story is created in the roadmap and the changes are persisted to Jira, we are being presented with a set required fields dialog box, even though all fields shown in the box are set. We think it might be related to project settings, but we do not know how to diagnose which field is causing the issue.

What should we be looking at to track down where the issue is coming from, as not all projects have this type of issue?

author: Lina Castro
body: Hi,

I had the same problem and it was related with some requested fields in Field configuration scheme and creation transition. The fields requested were not even displayed in pop-up screen but caused the problem. My recommendation is review and remove fields required in field scheme.


author: Eliseu Jos? do Nascimento Pedro
body: Hi everybody,

Any updates on this matter?

Our organization is having this issue for days now.

Already review our custom field schema and everything seems ok.

Any help would be appreciated.


author: Erik Higbee
body: Our company is encountering this as well. A person will create, say 20 issues through the Plan view, but then has to go through a pop-up for every one of them after saving, which mostly defeats the point of bulk creating these tasks.

This also only started happening for us in maybe Oct 2022 (we've been using Jira \& Advanced Roadmaps since Jan 2022).

From what I can see there aren't any hidden required fields either...

Would love any ideas on how to solve this, since it's quite an impediment for the team at the moment.


author: Lina Castro
body: Do you have any news about this?


author: Leon
body: how can the "Set required fields" dialog be invoked in the first place, please?

Thanks.

comments: author: Christina Parthenidou
body: It shouldn't be invoked, as this dialog box doesn't pop up in other projects. The transitions in the workflow seem to be fine too


author: DJ (61 429 578 954)
body: We also have this issue where every time we go to commit changes we have to sit through the pop-up for each item that was created.

Select List displays no values creating an Epic in Plan View
Asked by Jimmy Seddon:

Hello Everyone!

Before engaging with Atlassian Support, I thought I would ask you fine folks in case someone might have encountered this.

We have a Jira Software project that contains the epic issue type. As a part of the workflow for Epics we have a custom field (Single Value Select List) that we have configured as required in the workflow on the create transition.

From the Plan View in Advanced Roadmaps, if I look at a list of pre-existing Epics, I can see the values in this select list and I can change them correctly. I can also create a new Epic outside the plan view and everything is displayed as expected.

If I try to create a new Epic from within the Plan View, I obviously can't create the Epic until I provide a value for this select list, but also, when I try to select a value, the list is completely empty, but only for the new Epic I'm trying to create.

Has anyone seen or encountered anything like this before?

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Mayura
body: The fields that have options, such as select list (single and multiple choices) or checkbox, the values can only be set after the issue is already created in Jira (after saving the changes in the plan).

We have an open feature request for the same:

The trial license was expired for Advance Roadmaps, thus requested a new license. Unfortunately, Atlassian is not giving out any new Advance Roadmaps licenses: only renewing current ones about to expire.

They are forcing us to migrate to the Cloud, if we want access to Advance Roadmaps.

from where I could know the team members that had been added to a specific team board ?
Asked by sherif_tarek:

I need to add more team members to a specific jira project, but I don't know from where could I do so ? any help?


Answers:
author: Nikki Zavadska [Appfire]
body: Hi [@sherif_tarek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4662534) ,

if you're using Jira Cloud and team managed projects you can access the Project settings tab in your project menu (You need to be Project admin to see this tab) and then go to "Access" and you can add people to your project from here :)

If you're using a company-managed project instead of "Access" you'll see the "People" tab in your project settings and you can add specific groups to access this project.

I hope this helps, Nikki

author: Joseph Chung Yin
body: [@sherif_tarek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4662534) -

Welcome to the community. To add a new team member, you will need to do it in two places:

1) Grant the new member access to your specific Jira project via project's PROJECT SETTINGS \>\> Users and Roles by assigning the new member to a specific project role (i.e. Developers role)

2) If the users in question are already associated with the Jira project (assigned with project role), then go to your AR for Jira plan UI and click on the "Teams" tab \>\> EDIT. From the pop-up window, add your users.

NOTE - Just because users are assigned with project role in your Jira project, you will still need to configure your AR for Jira plan's Team setup.

Hope this helps.

Newly created project board does not show in the Advanced roadmap plan under issue sources
Asked by Sangeeta Gautam:

Hello!

I created a new project that I tried including in the Advanced Roadmap plan however when trying to add the board from this new project, the board does not show in the list via add issue sources option.

Any pointers on what could cause it or if there is a limit?

I appreciate your help. Thanks!


Answers:
author: David Wuth
body: another possibility: Have you refreshed the browser page for Advanced Roadmaps? Advanced Roadmaps does not automatically refresh the data linked to Jira. I've experienced this when trying to add new issue sources of Filters. I'm guessing the same would be true for new projects or boards.

comments: author: Sangeeta Gautam
body: Thanks David! It was more the issue list that wasn't refreshing. It popped up on search.


author: Eddie Meardon
body: Hi [@Sangeeta Gautam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4620280)

Quick question, is this project that you created a company-managed or team-managed project? If it's a team-managed project, we don't yet support those in Advanced Roadmaps, so they won't show.

We do have support for this coming shortly, and you can follow updates on its progress here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20012>

If this doesn't help, then I'd recommend raising a support ticket at support.atlassian.com/contact/

Cheers

Eddie

comments: author: Sangeeta Gautam
body: Thanks Eddie! This is company managed project. The issue seemed to be associated to the Board list not refreshing. Although the board did not show up in the list when I searched for it the board name popped up. I was able to continue with my work. If would be great if the list refreshed itself with new board names as they get created.

I appreciate your help. Thanks!

Adding a plan to multiple programs
Asked by shrila dutta:

I want to share two scenarios where a plan can be part of multiple programs and we are inhibited by the fact that we currently can only add a plan to one program

1. When there is a platform (central) team that provides enabling features to product teams, they (the platform team) will need to be part of the program for the specific product verticals while also being part of the Platforms program
2. art level feature roll up and then portfolio level feature roll up would mean that there are multiple visualisations for the roadmap depending on who is seeing and tracking it


Answers:
author: Earl McCutcheon
body: Hello [@shrila dutta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4653481) ,

Stories and Sub-tasks on one view in Advanced Roadmaps (Plans)?
Asked by Daniel Borisov:

Hello,

Currently I would like to manage Advanced Plans to plan out the capacity and workload of a team who's work is spread between multiple other teams and projects. Meaning that this group of members are being assigned stories and tasks from various different places. The way that I've created the "Plan" is by their team board which is essentially an advanced filter filtering down the items based on the assignees. The only issue I have is that when I would like to view both the Stories/Bugs (as they are on one hierarchy level) AND the sub-tasks I am unable. I would need to constantly switch the hierarchy options between story to sub-tasks and sub-tasks to sub-tasks. Can this be fixed and for me to be able to see all assigned items to my team members on one view?


Answers:
author: Curt Holley
body: Hi [@Daniel Borisov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4656245)

Welcome to the community.

This should be able to be done. It would be good if you could show us what issue sources your plan is using and what you are seeing.

I take it you are using boards that filter on all issues (be it stories, Bugs or Sub-tasks) per team member??? If so, then these should ALL be visible on your plan.

It could be influenced by how you are "grouping" and "Filtering" on your plan.

Ensure you have the hierarchy set down to sub-task level.

Check for "issues without a parent" at the bottom of the plan.

Let us know how you go.

comments: author: Daniel Borisov
body: Hi Curt,

Thanks for the reply!

Could the problem be that my filter is getting only the items that the team members are assigned to? So for example a sub-task could be assigned to a team member, but the Story that is the parent of this sub-task isn't visible on the filter due to it not being assigned to the team member?

What I see is that Stories and Bugs are on the same level and are visible when the hierarchies are Story to sub-task and maybe see their sub-tasks only if the Stories are assigned to the same person. When I switch to hierarchy level of sub-task to sub-task then I see all of the sub-tasks. My need is to be able to see all of the Bugs and sub-tasks on one view (Bugs are on the upper level of sub-tasks). Would it be the issue the filter in your opinion? I've tried clearing out the grouping and etc., but it is still the same.


author: Daniel Borisov
body: Indeed that was the issue after all. When pushed a filter that would show all items and filter them down based upon the assignee it showed me the parents and sub-tasks on a single view. Thanks for giving me the idea!


author: Curt Holley
body: Glad you sorted it.

Why are adjusted weekly capacities not considered in capacity distribution?
Asked by Felicitas Borkes:

Hello,

we are working Kanban-based with Roadmaps. If a developer is e.g. on vacation we reduce the weekly capacity accordingly but somehow Jira ignores it.

For example: Weekly capacity of the team is normally 40h (configured in the teams tab), the issue has an estimate of 50h \& developer is absent in week 1 (= reduced capacity of 20h).

Expected behaviour would be that capacity is distributed with 20h in week 1 \& 30h in week 2 but instead its distributed as if capacity had never been adjusted:![RoadmapIssue.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170586i8D88A3604BEBBA82/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "RoadmapIssue.PNG")

With the current behaviour capacity planning is not possible.

So, is there any way to change this?

Thanks in advance

Can we embed Advanced roadmaps program on 'Advanced Roadmaps for Jira' macro in Confluence.
Asked by Dhanyasri:

We have documentation on sharing advanced roadmaps **plans** on confluence macro but is there any possibility of having an advanced roadmaps **program**being shared into confluence?


Answers:
author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Dhanyasri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4647188),

Programs are a feature dating back to an earlier version of Advanced Roadmaps, back in the days where the tool was called Portfolio for Jira. They were available in version 2.0, which was also referred to as *live plans* . Support for that version has been discontinued on July 31st, as you may read in [this announcement](https://confluence.atlassian.com/advancedroadmapscloud/ending-support-for-live-plans-legacy-interface-in-advanced-roadmaps-1043897534.html).

You probably noticed that the UI of programs is different from the one used in you current plans. When the new UI for plans was introduced, the program view has not been updated. So the sharing capabilities for that view are not there either, as far as I know.

Hope this helps!


author: Curt Holley
body: HI [@Dhanyasri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4647188)

Welcome to the community!

What is your definition of "Program" in this instance?

Do you mean, can Advanced roadmaps be a confluence App instead of a Jira App? If so, the answer would be no, as it is part of Jira Premium (on Cloud) and a Jira plug-in (Portfolio for Jira) for DC/Server.

comments: author: Dhanyasri
body: Hello [@Curt Holley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3527535) , Thank you for your response. Here, programs are a set of roadmap plans in our instance.  
You can refer to the image below:  
![Programs and plans.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170749i2AF8087974175C1F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Programs and plans.png")  
For Ex: Program A will contain multiple plans under it.

So when trying to add plan into confluence macro we have an option of generating shared link and providing the link in confluence.  
Likewise, is there any option to add programs into confluence page macro.  
Please suggest.

Thank you!


author: Curt Holley
body: So you are using the plug-in on a server/DC instance of Jira I take it?

Regardless, I doubt that Program would be an option for the advanced roadmaps **plans** on confluence macro. As it is for sharing a view of a plan, not a whole program of work.


author: Dhanyasri
body: Thank you for sharing your thought on this [@Curt Holley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3527535)

Stages & Skills option is not listed in Jira Roadmaps
Asked by Jira Support:

We are currently using Jira Datacenter Version 8.13.2 and in the Jira Advance Roadmap plans, i am not able to assign skills to users.

Can you please suggest how i can get that the option Stages \& Skills so that i can assign the required skills to users


Answers:
author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Jira Support](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4645205) and welcome to the Community,

Skills are a feature of the former Portfolio Live Plans, an older version of the tool that is no longer supported since July 31st (see [this announcement](https://confluence.atlassian.com/advancedroadmapscloud/ending-support-for-live-plans-legacy-interface-in-advanced-roadmaps-1043897534.html)).

While intrinsically a powerful feature, it took a ridiculous amount of work and commitment to actually use in real life scenarios: for every single issue on a roadmap, the feature required to split up estimates across all involved users and skills in order to generate a realistic roadmap. Atlassian has chosen a more pragmatic approach to planning in the new UI, which is also commented in the same announcement I linked above.

Hope this helps!

Why no renewal available for Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Data Center?
Asked by Andreas Weber:

Why no renewal available for Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Data Center?


Answers:
author: Robert Wen_ReleaseTEAM_

What version of Jira DC are you on? This add-on is now part of the overall Jira DC 8.15 version and beyond automatically. So separate renewal is required if you are on 8.15 or newer version for Jira DC.

If your Jira DC is not 8.15 or newer, I would recommend you to contact Atlassian Support directly for further assistance.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to show dependencies from outside of the plan in the Dependencies Report view?
Asked by Doug Snyder:

I have created a plan that contains a project work issue with a dependency on a work issue in a different project. That other project is not included in the plan I have created. The dependency was created via the "issue links" capability within the issue.

While I can click on the dependency badge in "Roadmap" view and see the dependency in the "not in this plan" section of the popup, when I switch to the "Dependencies report" view this dependency is not included in the visualization. Is it possible to do this, or does the "Dependencies" report only show work issues that are part of the plan?


Answers:
author: Joseph Chung Yin
body: [@Doug Snyder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3048251) -

Unfortunately, AR for Jira currently doesn't support "Linked Issue"concept. Therefore, it will not work for what you tried to accomplished. It is currently only support issues association via the issue hierarchy relationship setup.

I would recommend you to contact Atlassian Support for further assistance. I believe there are feature requests on their roadmap already.
