Hi folks 👋🏽
Figured I’d introduce myself. I’m Arslan, a Solutions Engineer, Atlassian Certified Expert, avid runner, husband, and nerdy uncle seeking to continually learn, grow, and share with awesome individuals. Why’d I join this community? I discovered and began engaging with @Alex Ortiz’s and @Josh Golosinskiy’s excellent webinars and content since earlier this year (renewed my certs). They’ve been very helpful in addressing my Atlassian platform knowledge gaps and more while making it fun, to say the least! So joining this community was a no-brainer. I’m also currently exploring the job market and reflecting on what to pursue that resonates with my values and strengths. I look forward to contributing to this community and any opportunity to engage! -Arslan linkedin.com/in/arsiqbal

Welcome @Arslan Iqbal
Last sprint's DONE are showing in new sprint's DONE column
Hi there! My DONE work items from last sprint are showing in this week's new sprint's DONE column. I don't have access to the Jira work item workflows yet in the account from the client, but thinking this is culprit. What's your take? Thank you!

Hi @Cameron Clancy, there are a few things that come to mind, but if you have a screenshot of what the issue looks like on the sprint board and/or the issue view, that would help. A couple of usual suspects are the resolution field not being correctly set (usually done in the board configuration or in the workflow) or the "Done" column not being the furthest to the right on the board.

@Cameron Clancy if you look at the sprint field on one of the issues in the Done column, does it show more than one value, and is the previous sprint still open?
Promoting changes from Dev to Prod
Any recommendations on how we promote changes we made and tested in our Dev environment into Production?

Hi @Corey Glaude, this is a challenging one, depending on the complexity of your changes. Tools like AppFire's Configuration Manager come to mind, but in my experience, it's relatively slow, and can oftentimes move parts of the configuration that you don't want to move. Revyz's Configuration Manager may do a better job, but unless it's already in your environment and utilized for its backup capabilities, it's probably too expensive just for promoting changes. Other than that, a solid deployment plan and moving what you can through export/import (Automation rules) has been our go-to. If you find anything better than that, I'd be interested in comparing notes. :)
Jira Automation - Surely there's an easier way?
Hey community! Sorry - long-ish post incoming I'm currently attempting what should be an easy automation but is really stumping me. I have set up a rule that when bugs in a particular space are resolved, that a slack notification occurs to let out stakeholders know that a bug has been resolved. Where I'm struggling is, that we want to "@" tag them in slack which should be easy right? GPT mentions that I could use a lookup table (I've got over 60 slack IDs to add) but our Jira (premium cloud upgraded version) doesn't offer Lookup tables as an option ?! 🥲. So instead, it recommends we use a create variable option "Reported by: <@{{var.slackMap.[issue.reporter.displayName]}}>" I've done that in the following format: Trigger: Issue transitioned → Done ↓ Condition: Issue type = Bug ↓ Condition: Project = [space] ↓ Action: Create variable (slackMap) ↓ Action: Send Slack message I tested this with just one user/slack ID and it worked perfectly! However, when I added the full list of team members, it populated with this notification in slack: "DO-1234 has been resolved in the Customer Support project. Reported by: <@> View issue" so it's removed the "@" tag that was there when I tried with one example. GPT then said that Jira doesn't support <@{{var.slackMap.[issue.reporter.displayName]}}> (Sigh) My last option is the If/Else path, but not doing that for over 70 team members and it will be impossible to maintain! Any sanity checks/advice would be very much appreciated

Lookup tables are an action you can use within the Automation rule. The easiest way is likely to map between something like the Jira account ID or display name and their corresponding Slack display name (if they differ). You can try using the email address, but I believe it can sometimes be hidden from Automation, depending on the user's profile privacy settings. Atlassian recently added a dynamic lookup table action where you could use something like a REST API request to pull that information from Slack and create the lookup table from that, but a manual table is probably an easier entry point if there's not too much change in who the users are.
Atlassian releases
This is the question especially to those, who are running big enterprise instances. With migration to cloud I was happy, thinking "Cool, now Atlassian will roll out all new features for me, so I don't need to perform upgrades". I remember @Josh Golosinskiy already complained on this topic in several posts here and on LinkedIn, still I didn't figure out the good approach for myself. What’s recommended strategy to follow on new features launched by Atlassian without our control ? One thing is when new Jira space report or new Confluence macro is being rolled out, of course, I want to know when it appears in my instance, but I can live with it. But when BIG feature like Rovo is enabled in my instance of 6K+ users I definitely want to know about it in advance :D

@Oresta Tymchyshyn to add what Alex and Josh have mentioned, if you're on premium or above, you can use release tracks to get those changes rolled into your sandbox environments first and delay the rollout to your production environment. The Enterprise tier can also defer the rollout of a change for at least 30 days, but I believe this is limited to one time. I've also found the following site helpful in bundling the changes up week to week: https://cloud-updates.released.so/
