How to I read the epic WSJF score from rest
Asked by Morten Christophersen:

Hi,

I hope you can help me:-)

Im making a script to interface Jira align through REST. I can get the Epic out through REST API, but I do not know I get the WSJF score read out?  

Do you know where it is hiding?

Answers:
author: Steve Sauser
body: Currently there is no WSJF API support.   
If you have Enterprise Insights you are able to pull data from there regarding WSJF.

I also did some searching in the Suggestions for Jira Align and I don't see any Suggestions requesting API support for WSJF. I would suggest you submit a suggestions through Support to get this reviewed in the backlog.


author: James Webber
body: Keen to know if you find this and the Epic Roadmap health I don't think they are in the API but hopefully I am wrong.

Can we map Issue property to a JIRA Align field
Asked by Chandra Sekhar:

We have a data saved in issue properties in cloud . Can we map issue property of a ticket to a field in jira align


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: Yes, you can sync issues and some of their properties between Jira and Jira Align. It is not possible to map every field; the idea is to map enough fields to track progress against a plan or objective. Many execution-only fields will live only in Jira.

Can you guide me on how to map a Issue Property to JIRA Align field. We are looking only for one Field

Portfolio process steps
Asked by Morten Christophersen:

Hi,   

I hope you can help me out once more:-)  

In our portfolio roadmap, we have the following process kanban steps:  

![workflow conf.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/286663i906C9443873AF078/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "workflow conf.png")  

However, when looking at my roadmap in the kanban view I first have an "unassigned" step. and then all of the above:  

![kanban.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/286665i09DA42C11B9A6F65/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "kanban.png")  
I do not want to have the unassigned step as this is not a state. How do I get rid of it. - as you can see there is nothing mapped to it. and if there would be anything here it should be mapped to funnel.  

All help is much appreciated:-)

who delete my plan in advanced roadmap?
Asked by Amin Pazhohesh:

hi community

is there a way to find out who delete a plan in advanced road maps? is there a way to restrict deleting plan permission only to jira admin?

thanks


Answers:
author: Sachithra Dangalla
body: Hi [@Amin Pazhohesh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1289920) ,

You can use Jira Audit logs to identify who deleted a plan: <https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/audit-activities-in-jira-applications/>

In order to restrict users from deleting plans, you can use individual plan permissions to restrict the "Edit" permissions on plans which will restrict users from deleting the plan: <https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/limit-who-can-edit-and-view-your-plan-in-advanced-roadmaps/>

If the above doesn't help, you can look for similar suggestions and vote or request a new suggestion from here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-25783?jql=project%3DJSWCLOUD%20AND%20type%3DSuggestion%20AND%20statusCategory!%3DDone%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Plan%20(Advanced%20Roadmaps)%20-%20Create%20%2F%20Save%20%2F%20Delete%22>

Hope this helps.

comments: author: Amin Pazhohesh
body: hi [@Sachithra Dangalla](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3970707)

there is no trace of it in audit log .

many people working on this plan and all of them must have edit permission

and unfortunately anybody with edit permission have deleting permission too!


author: Sachithra Dangalla
body: Hi [@Amin Pazhohesh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1289920)

You can search by the plan name to filter out the entries in the Jira Audit Log and if that doesn't show up anything, the log entry must have exceeded its retention period.

Or perhaps the plan was renamed, which would still be recorded in the logs if it's within the log retention period.

Please feel free to request a new suggestion and/or feedback about more granular permissions from [the above link](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-25913?jql=project%3DJSWCLOUD%20AND%20type%3DSuggestion%20AND%20statusCategory!%3DDone), so that we can consider it as future improvements.

Cheers!


author: Craig Nodwell
body: Hi [@Amin Pazhohesh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1289920) the only way to know who deleted the plan would be to ask the Jira Admin to review the logs.

Initiatives and Epics not pulling onto Roadmap
Asked by Cori Callinan:

I created a roadmap with an issue source of project. I included zero filters. The stories pull to the roadmap but the epics and initiatives do not. Above the stories it says 0 epics when there are multiple epics for the project. Any ideas on why they could be missing?


Answers:
author: Tim C
body: Hi [@Cori Callinan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5319177)

You say there's no filters being used in the incoming source data ... however, you need to ensure that the plan itself isn't filtering the data being displayed and hierarchy is picking the correct levels (under "Filters" button) ...?

![23-10-06.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/284856i22FB5F8BF85F2FE2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "23-10-06.png")


author: Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira
body: Hi Cori,  

Hmm there could be a number of possible reasons. Here are some things you can try:  

<br />

* Make the issue source for your roadmap is set to "Project" and the project you want to include is selected.
* You mention that you included zero filters but it could be possible that a filter is included somewhere at the project level. This could be preventing epics and iniatives from showing up
* You could also need to clear your cache.

These are a few ideas I can think of. Let me know if this helps.


author: Daniel Capizzi
body: Hi [@Cori Callinan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5319177),

If you're having trouble understanding why issues aren't showing up in your plan, you might like to try out a new feature called "Find Your Issue" which we've recently released. It should help identify why issues that you expect to appear aren't there.

To use it just click "Plan settings" -\> "Find your issue" in the plan sidebar. You can then put in the issue key of any issue which you *expect* to be in appearing but isn't, so for you that would be one of your epics or initiatives. You'll then get some information about why it isn't showing up and some guidance on how to make it appear.

Hope this helps, and feel free to reply here if you have any trouble - I'd be happy to clarify things a bit further.

Cheer,

Daniel

How do I see all sprint backlog issues with the sprint label filter in my timeline plan?
Asked by Helen Platt:

In the JIRA sprint backlog I can see all standard issues (149) for that sprint label, but when I create a plan timeline view for the same initiative and filter for the same sprint label it's only showing 40 issues.

Why have I "lost" over 100 issues? I would expect to see all issues in my plan that I've filtered for that sprint label.

The default period "done" issues are shown in a plan is 30 days.

As I see on the screenshot of your sprint the sprint is like 10 weeks. Check the plan settings as mentioned by [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470)


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Helen Platt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5255132)

40 issues without a parent (i.e no Epic set) - how many standard-level issues are below those Epics?

I'd also check you haven't got any exclusion rules on your plan:

1. Go to Plan Settings
2. Select Exclusion Rules from the left-hand menu
3. Check you're not excluding statuses, issue types, etc

Issue sprint setting in Advanced Roadmaps
Asked by ingvarr:

In ordinary project boards, it is possible to change sprint allocation of issues through [drag and drop](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/schedule-work-for-scrum-teams-on-your-roadmap/). It's very convenient.

Unfortunately, in Advanced Roadmaps (otherwise superior in most ways), it is only possible to set start and end dates this way (even if they were not set). It's extremely annoying: I believe dates are evil on "story" level, and would like "snap to sprint" feature like in basic timelines. Is that possible?


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@ingvarr](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5250132)

You can select the Sprint for a Task from the Fields view - but it requires the Issue Source to be a Sprint Board.

Update the Issue Source first...

1. Go to Plan Settings
2. Select Issue Sources from the left-hand menu
3. Set the required Scrum Board(s) as the sources

Next, back on the roadmap view...

1. Click Fields
2. Add the Sprint field to the visible roadmap

\^ You can then modify a single Issue's Sprint from the field, or you can select multiple issues (using the checkboxes on the left-hand side) and use the bulk actions menu to assign multiple issues to a Sprint at the same time.

It's not quite the same as using the timeline "snap to sprint" feature, but it's similar. I'd assume the reason it's not the same is because Advanced Roadmaps can have multiple Projects, Boards, and therefore Sprints in it (including those running concurrently), so deciding on which to use would be more complex, especially if Issues were in multiple Board filters.

comments: author: ingvarr
body: It is, indeed, not at all the same as "snap to sprint".

And in my opinion, not at all similar, quite the opposite.

There are many ways to change field values. Specifically for sprints, the simple timeline holds the superior one. It's one big feature we miss in Advanced Roadmaps.

Advice needed about Workflow change
Asked by Ximena:

I need advice about the way I change my workflow.  
I copy the existing one and on the copy, I add new statuses if needed with new transitions. I do not delete the statuses not needed (but delete the transitions to them) so when I do the bulk change the old statuses of issues before workflow change remain the same.   
This is very helpful when the new workflow is very different to the old one and statuses cannot be related to the new ones.   

I would like to have an expert opinion on what can go wrong with this method.  


Answers:
author: Tim C
body: To prevent having "stuck" tickets that can't be transitioned ... I'd suggest adding a "cancelled" status (or similar) into your workflow and then map all of the "abandoned" statuses onto cancelled instead so the status for those tickets get updated whenever the new workflow gets applied to your project (and effectively get removed from appearing in an "active" state).

In your way, people would still find \& see the data in these abandoned status when doing queries/searches. Keeping "noise" is probably never recommended.

If needed, you could add a condition on the transition to "cancelled" so it doesn't appear to normal users (and also ensure the "resolution" field gets set during post-processing on this transition - so these abandoned tickets appear resolved/closed).


author: Jack Brickey
body: Why do you wish for the old statuses to remain? Unless you use the "all" transition to one or more of the statuses associated with the workflow then any issue that is in an old "abandoned " status cannot be transitioned. It would seem to me that you would want every issue in an old "to be abandoned" status to be re-associated to a new workflow status, as part of the process of editing the workflow.

How to create a quick filter to a Features board to sort Features that have no story/child issues?
Asked by James Arthur:

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Tim C
body: Hi [@James Arthur](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5298789)

As you'll have seen from other posts - I think this is only possible using Scriptrunner (or another extension).

My own workaround uses a "total tickets in epic" customfield to count how many tickets in Epic and automation rule that triggers as/when new story/tasks are created (see attached).

![count tickets in epic.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/282952i2D4E677181434D8A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "count tickets in epic.png")

Then very easy to filter data whenever "total tickets in epic" = 0

I hope this helps.

TC.

How are ranking changes applied across projects
Asked by John Doyle:

If I have a plan that incorporates 3 projects, A, B, and C and I change the ranking of the issues in the plan, how are the changes applied in the individual projects. This doc explains in the simple case where this is only one project.

Imagine this ranking in the plan:

C-1
