To edit multiple issues at the same time, select the issues (in either Plan mode or Work mode), right-click and select Bulk Change (see the JIRA documentation on

).

 

Quick Edit

To quickly edit just the Summary, Description, Story Points and/or Remaining Estimate fields,

  1. Click the Agile link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar, then select your preferred board from the resulting dropdown menu.
  2. If your project uses Scrum and is currently in the Planning phase, click Plan; otherwise click Work.
  3. Click the issue key (or type 't') to display a detailed view of that issue on the right-hand side of the screen.
  4. To edit the issue's Summary, Story Points or Remaining Estimate field, on the Details tab, click in the field and start typing. Press the Enter key to save your changes (or Esc to cancel).
  5. To edit the Description field, click the Description tab then start typing in the field. Press Enter key for a new line. Click outside the field, or press Tab, to save your changes (or Esc to cancel).
  6. If you are in Work mode, click the 'x' button to return the board to full-screen width.

    Why don't I see the Story Points field when in full edit mode of the Issue?

    1. Hi Mark,

      By default, the Story Points field is only available to issues of type 'Story' or 'Epic' (not 'Bugs' etc) — you can change this as described in GreenHopper Custom Fields and Database Changes.

      Hope this helps,
      Rosie

    I  am trying to change the Assignee on an issue.  When I type the users name in the box, it does not display as an option.  I have gone over their profile via the admin tool, to figure out why - they are part of the directory and jira-user group.  How do I edit a users permissions so I can assign them tasks?

  3. Hi Averil, you need to make sure the user has been given "Assignable User" permission in the relevant project(s).

    Is it possible to configure Greenhopper to allow inline editing of other fields? I don't see why I have to type "e" and bring up a separate window for editing the labels when other fields allow inline editing.

    1. We are planning to work on this in the very near future. Please keep a watch on upcoming release notes – thank you

        Hey Rosie, can you give us an update on this, or is there an issue I can watch?
