Hi Justin, I just updated lots of JIRAs to have an empty Fix For from 0.7. This means they are included in the 'Unscheduled' version on our JIRA front page, though the individual JIRAs dont display that word which I think they should...hint Atlassian. They may or may not make it into the 0.9/0.10 release at some point.
The reason for doing this is that every time we move JIRAs from one release straight to the next and then they still dont get worked on, come this point in the release cycle the <strikethrough>poor sod<strikethrough/> volunteer acting as Release Manager then has to update hundreds of JIRAs to move them on yet again (I may have just spent a while today doing that :P). By removing the Fox For entirely, it means the person working on the item, whos should naturally be updating the JIRA with the current status anyway, then just has to schedule it into the appropriate version as it is progressed. Having a(n accurate) future plan of versions would be nice, but relies on people actually moving issues to the correct version at the correct time, something most of us developers are a little too lazy about :) Robbie On 1 November 2010 15:46, Justin Ross <jr...@redhat.com> wrote: > I've been looking at the state of things in Jira, and I've noticed we have a > lot of bugs with an empty fix version field. > > This leaves them in an ambiguous state.
