Troubleshooting

Template is not created from Jira issue

Jira Server, Data Center

Issue contain more than ~15 subtasks. Due to specific limitation of our Jira server version storage, big template could not be saved.

Try removing Subtasks, lowering down to <15 items

The message is shown while upgrading an addon

Jira Cloud

1. If you have recently migrated tom Jira Server to Jira Cloud, Jira Software does not have any default users group. So the installation of the App fails.

2. If URL of your Jira instance has changed, e.g. from xxx.atlassian.net to yyy.atlassian.net - old instance URL and client key already exist in our instance registry and we do not allow duplicate installation to avoid mixing data/instances.

1. Check relevant treads and set at least one of the groups to be the Default Group

2. We need to manually disable your old key and then you can try reinstalling an app again. Please reach us via Customer Portal

When changing an assignee in a template (or any other select field), I can only select a few users/values. But not the one I want to select.

Jira Cloud

To get options for the select fields we use the first project from your instance that has the issue type the template has been assigned to.

If you look at the “All Projects” list on your Jira instance - you’ll find that project (probably first).

We have a feature request to allow users choose from which context to set values for the template and that should help to properly choose specific select field value for the template’s scope.

From now on, saved “Story Points” would be restored from the Template upon the new Jira issue creation

Parent is not passed to “Create Issue Screen” via Prefill flow

Jira Cloud

This is a known issue for Connect apps from Atlassian. Check https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-26119

At this moment the workaround is to use “Create” flow instead of “Prefill”. We’ll be following Atlassian updates on this matter.

I can’t see a particular saved field while editing a template via Manage Template

Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center

Fields are not associated with proper screens or project/global context

1. Go to custom fields, find the field

2. Click “…” menu → Associate to screens

3. Try associating with Default Issue screen

4. If that won’t work - find the original project from which the tempalte was created and associate custom fields to issue screen of that project

You may also want to check Scope where the field s defined to be used. And it should be global.
