My searches have returned so many non-related results, I apologize. My issue is simple, in TFS when I click "Follow" on an item, I would expect to be emailed when the item is changed, that's what the documentation seems to say. It's not happening. I do receive a notification when an item is assigned to me so email configuration is not the issue.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Please navigate to 'Project Settings' > 'Notifications' > '+ New subscription', and set up a custom notification subscription for 'Work' > 'A work item is changed'. Then to see if you can receive the notification email when the work item is changed.
[UPDATE]
Please click the gear icon to check if the selected option is 'Subscribed'.
For more details, you can see "Follow work".

I've been trying to figure this out for a week now and haven't had any success. I have a project in Jira with a Kanban board that we use for issues/support tickets. We have a custom field (called secondary assignee) which basically lets us add an additional assignee responsible for the ticket.
I am trying to figure out how to set Jira to send an email notification to the secondary assignee when the requester or someone else replies to the issue and the issue is updated. Our settings are as follows:
Project -> Notification Settings -> Events -> Issue Updated -> Notification: User Custom Field Value (Secondary Assignee)
This should ensure that the notification goes out to the secondary assignee when an issue is updated.
Project -> Permissions -> Secondary Assignee has permissions to browse projects
I've also tried using the notification helper (system settings) on a ticket where I am the secondary assignee and the helper indicates I should be receiving e-mails when an issue is updated. However, I am still not receiving any notifications.
Does anyone have an idea what else to look at?
Thanks!
Each Jira user has a setting in the Profile about Notify Me. So you may not be getting emails about issues you change
I'm getting mails from jira for all tasks I'm ASSIGNEE to
This is a good,except I want to avoid getting mail every change/comment I make on this task
I couldn't find any settings in my account, Can this be disabled?
I read in jira that it should be the case by default
Jira's default setting is to not notify users of their own changes. This can be changed on a per user basis via their profile preferences.
You can do this via the Preferences page in JIRA. Detailed instructions are here.
Click on your Profile on the top right of the screen.
Click the pencil next to Preferences.
Change the My Changes dropdown value to Do not notify me.
You should now no longer get emails for actions you've done on a ticket. The only downside is that you'll now also no longer get notifications when you create a ticket.
I am in charge of a team of developers that has experienced a high rate of turnover. I have 100 some code reviews in "requested" status because the developer didn't close them before leaving the company. I took ownership of these in TFS by right clicking and assigning to myself, but it is not giving me the option of closing.
According to this link I should be able to download an excel sheet and do a "bulk" update:
Please try this workaround: create a work query to get all that user’s Code Review Request work items which in Requested state, save this work item query and open this query in Excel, then edit them work items in Excel to change the state to Closed, then click Publish button to publish the updates to TFS Server.
I do not see any way to do this either.
What are my options here?
All code review requests are in fact a TFS work item. You can close them in bulk by bulk updating them using Excel, just as you would do for any other work item.
The way to do is to open your code reviews query from the link on the top right of Code Reviews section in Team Explorer
Once you are in query mode, click on "Save query" to save your code review query. Now click on the "Open query in Excel" button
This would open up an excel sheet for you. Change the State of each of code review work item that you would like to update. Then click on the the Team menu and use the "Publish" button to make your changes in TFS.
Last week, I sent a message via JIRA's "Share" link on one issue to a requester with nearly 100 issues. I haven't received a response and want to follow up, but I don't remember which issue it was. Are "Share" messages logged in JIRA, and is it possible for me to search them? It would be nice to not have to go back through each individual list and search for it.
If you shared the JIRA by click the Share icon on top right, then it's only sending an email, you have no way to trace back which issue you shared from JIRA.
If you shared the issue by mentioning user's name in comment or description, you can check your activities stream for issues you have edited.
I've got alert set up on one of the lists. When I subscribe the user to the list changes - the user gets "has subscribed you for alert " email. However, when list items are added/change - no alert is sent out.
Any ideas why this might be happening?
