What is the use of 'Attach Tag' in Mantis - mantis

I am reporting issue at that time it shows add 'Attach Tag'
On Edit or view mode i cannot see tag label anywhere.
So what is the use of tag in mantis ?

The use is the same as tags on stackexchange. It allows you to categorize your reports in a more flexible way than category, as you can attach more than one tag to a bug. The tags are listed in the detailed view of bug details (view.php).
We use it for tagging issues that were found as part of our formal QC checking, as we can then filter on the tags to generate reports, while the category had a pre-existing use to define what feature of the product the issue is affecting.

How to link other JIRA dashboards to a central dashboard?

I have several dashboards in JIRA and want to create a central one where there is a filter or gadget that will display links to the other dashboards. Is this possible?
You may save all of these dashboards' URLs and show them inside a gadget in your main dashboard.
Let's say one of your "other dashboard"s link is: your-jira-url.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000
Then, you can add a new gadget (like Text plugin which can show HTML) and add following HTML in that gadget:
Link to the other dashboard
However, Text plugin is not enabled default because of the security issues. You may find the details on Atlassian documentation.
Also, as an alternative, you may try HTML for Jira plugin, or you may find some free alternatives from Marketplace.
I found a way to accomplish this. You can embed it in a issue ie the description field and use a filter to display that field of that issue

How to add link to Kanban project to show ticket state?

In other project types it was possible to insert link into ticket, and status was shown like here:
But I can not do it with Kanban, why?
As per Atlassian Confluence, the project administrator must set the jira.projectkey.pattern property to the proper regex expression.
The default regex is ([A-Z][A-Z]+).

use Confluence-publisher-plugin in Jenkins to send build information to Wiki

I know there are some questions regarding this, but didn't get the right answer yet.
I am trying to use Confluence publisher plugin in Jenkins to send build information (Logs, artifacts...) to wikiD page. I can attach artifacts and write plain text to the wiki page. But I'm trying to update/append/prepend wiki page table with build info. I think I might be able to achieve this by using macros but not sure how to use that for data in tables??
does anyone here know how to achieve that?
Sure. I can mention how i did it. There might be different way others will do the same thing.
So, in Confluence, either create a Blank macros as mentioned on Confluence-publisher-plugin wiki and in Jenkins, use "Wiki Markup Replacements" options in plugin configuration to direct your Contents.
OR other option is what i did on mine, was to create table in the wiki and use Cell header ( |cell1||cell2|... ) as Marker Token. then select plain text option, where you enter all the contents that you want to be published in your Wiki.

JIRA Hide fields in View

I have certain issues that are secure and should not be viewed by all roles. I'm looking for a way to only show the summary on the view screen but no other details unless a certain role views it. Some sort of way to flag an issue on creation to hide certain fields.
There may be other easy ways to do this.but one solution that comes to my mind is use of Behaviours plugin.using this plugin can hide fields if certain user logged into the system.
you can follow steps like this..
1.install Behaviours plugin and create new behaviour then add mappings and go to the fiels and do the relevant configurations...
2.then you can add fields you want to hide and add conditions to them. then there is a option to add certain user roles in the condition configuration page.
3.then click on the hide link on the Field page.
Note-the Behaviours plugin is part of the Script Runner plugin now.you can use either Behaviours plugin s or Script Runner plugin
