We have migrated to using Greenhopper in our Jira environment. We have a whole lot of issues where we want to get rid of the "Original Estimate" field, and start using "Story Points".
I have added the "Story Points" to the "Configure Screen" page, however it is only appearing for New issues, the field is not being added to already existing issues.
Does anyone know how to get this field added to already existing issues?
Cheers!

In GreenHopper (Agile -> Planning Board) you will want to ensure that the Story Points field is added to your Story "issue type". Do this via Agile -> Planning Board -> Tools -> Configuration.
If you are able to upgrade to a newer version of JIRA (4.4 for instance) you will see GreenHopper provides a project template. You can switch this over to Scrum and get Epics, Story Points, and much more set up quickly.
Thanks Ben.

From one day to another, changing the issue filter slightly, my Kanban board's board configuration in JIRA went empty. I use the following JQL as a filter within the board configuration:
project = "My amazing project" and fixVersion in unreleasedVersions()
ORDER BY priority DESC
The above filter does not work. What is working, though, is
project = "My amazing project" and fixVersion = "v1337"
ORDER BY priority DESC
Interestingly, the first query works in JIRA's issue explorer and gives me back the 11 results I expect. As you see in the screenshot below, I have no quick filters enabled. Neither do I have any sub-filter added, nor am I hiding any older issues. Where did all the cards go?
I am using Atlassian Jira Project Management Software (v8.2.3#802003-sha1:5986657), and I am not an administrator of that installation, only of the project.

community.atlassian.com: Kanban board is empty
There is a dedicated problem page provided by Atlassian:
Symptoms
The issues are not visible in Kanban board, but when you are in board configurations >> columns you can see number of issues.
Cause
As Kanban board deals with version of the issues, the field named Fix Version/s should not be hidden
This is because the default Kanban board sub-filter(Board Configure >> General) has been set to
fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY
The page also describes a rather complicated workaround. My workaround was much simpler:
Change the JQL query to project = "My amazing project" only.
Create a subfilter fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() ORDER BY priority DESC.
I do not understand why it has to be this way, but it does the job.
We already have set of IssueTypes and are following Agile Scrum.
Now, we're planning to use JIRA Agile. It is mentioned in JIRA Documentation that EPIC is an issue of Type "Epic". But, since we're a considerably sized BU with few projects - we would like to use the "New Feature" Issue Type as Epic - so the Spec, Dev and Test can be added to the "Feature" Epic.
Question is: Is it possible to use Custom Issue Type as Epic in JIRA Agile? If so, How?
Short answer is no.
The Epic issue type (and a few others) are added to a base JIRA installation when you install the "JIRA Agile" extension/plugin. None of the features (Epic Links, Epics filtering on backlogs, Epic burndown charts, etc) will work with any other issue type.
I'd suggest you begin adapting your process to use the new issue type.
Now, there's nothing stopping you associating custom fields (if that's what you use for Spec, Dev, and Test information) with the Epic issue type so you get the same functionality you have with New Feature.
You can rename the Epic type created by Jira Agile (note that already created schemes remember the old name) to any name and it works.
I guess, there would be hack in DB and reassign issue type to Jira Agile somewhere in DB but who knows what tables are linked to see some description here
I installed JIRA 6.4. I also Crerated Project and Issue in it. I assigned Issue to some user. Now If Administrator wants to monitor isssue status, he can see progress. But how does the asignee i.e the person working on issue update issue status. Actually I am very new to JIRA. Or is there any other plugin for it
Depending on the workflow you have configured for the project, the assignee should see action buttons on the issue that they can click to progress status; e.g. "Resolve Issue" or "Close Issue". These are known as "Transitions" in the workflow and configure how issues can move between certain states.
If you're also using the JIRA Agile add-on, you can create a "Rapid Board" that allows assignees to drag and drop issues between states to create a "Work in Progress" board.
This is just a starter, it's best to run through the tutorials from Atlassian, they will take into account the various project setups that may apply to you.
Also, if you're just getting up and running with JIRA, it may be advisable to upgrade to JIRA Core 7 (or JIRA Software if you require the extra features) as it has project templates/workflows that will make getting up and running a lot quicker.
I'm trying to change the look of the Kanban Board in TFS 2013 by adding the WorkItem ID to tasks, bugs and PBI's.
To be more precise: I would like to add the WI# before the title of each item in the swimminglanes.
I'm trying to do this with witadmin but can't seem to find the correct files.
This feature is now available on TFS Online.
To show WorkItem Id's on BLI's & Bugs, you have update the settings on the board.
Click on the Settings wheel on the top right corner of the board.
Select "Cards" in the drop down.
In the "Customize Cards" page, select the "Show ID" checkbox as highlighted in the below image.
Click "Save" button. You board will refresh with new settings.
Note: The settings are separate for Bug & Product Backlog Item
The best answer I can provide at the moment is to point you towards Tiago Pascoal's Task Board Enhancer, which is a extension that can be installed on your TFS server to get some kanban board enhancements.
http://pascoal.net/task-board-enhancer/
As Andrew mentioned, there is no other way to enhance work items on the kanban board currently.
This isn't something that you can currently customize through the process template (witadmin). Sorry.
Take a look at this solution of using a "bookmarklet" to just show the ID on the boards without having to make any changes on the server http://pascoal.net/2012/08/adding-work-item-ids-to-team-foundation-server-board/
The one I use is from that site:
javascript:$('.tbTile').each(function(){var t=this.id.substring(5,999),n=$(this).find('.witTitle').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))}),$('.board-tile').each(function(){var t=this.id,n=$(this).find('.title').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))})
I'm using Jira and have been told by the sysadmin that GreenHopper has been installed.
However, I see no evidence that GreenHopper has been installed.
Is there a simple way to determine whether or not GreenHopper has been installed?
Once greenhopper is installed, it needs to be enabled for the project. In the greenhopper administration section you can choose to enable it for all projects or only selected ones.
I believe the default setting has it only for selected projects, with none selected.
Edit: you can find that setting in the administration section under Greenhopper -> Enabled Projects.
The video on GreenHopper illustrates some of the feature that you should be able to see.
In particular, you should be able to access the Planning Board on your project, meaning there should be an 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and a 'Planning Board' from the resulting dropdown menu.
If you are a JIRA Admin, simply go to the Adminstration > JIRA Administration > System > Plugin, the look at the "Installed plugin" section whether you have "GreenHopper".
I you are not a JIRA Admin, and you are running the latest version of JIRA and GreenHopper, you will see the "Agile" tab besides the "Dashboard", "Projects", "Issues".
