My project is trying to implement some more stringent processes within our use of JIRA.
One thing we would like to do is force/mandate that people add a comment on transition between certain states in the workflow.
For example, on setting a story to 'Complete' (final step in our process) we want to mandate that a comment is entered to act as a summary of the final tasks on the story.
This is because we have been finding a lot of stories and tasks have been going from a development stage to complete with very little commentary being applied.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
You need to add a new screen for your transition. That way, users will see the screen prior to change the transition. Check the steps in this document.

I want to pin a chart to the Azure DevOps Services dashboard that shows how many bugs in the current sprint have a linked test case or not.
I have been able to put up a query for the same but it appears that such queries can't be charted out. Is there an alternate way?
Here's the error that I get while creating a chart out of my query
Additionally, I would also like to know if there is a way to ensure that when I Resolve/Close a bug workitem in AzDo services, I can check if there is at least one associated test case work item with the bug. I have explored Bug rules but can't find out a clean way to get the link types associated with the work item. How can I achieve this?
Thanks

As for the error you got, it's one open issue here in our feedback forum, the product team is considering about it. But there might be some time before the feature comes true. You can track the issue to get notifications if there's any update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is there an alternate way?
If you just need a widget to display the results of the query, you can consider using Query Results widget, if supports tree or direct links. But if you do want the pie chart for WITs, I afraid it's not supported for now when using tree or direct links. You can check the related extensions here.

As I know we don't have such option in Azure Devops Boards.
If we close/delete one workItem, it won't display a prompt or what that tells us the related workItems are still active.
But I think that would be a great idea, so I suggest you can post one feature request here to share your idea to product team. Then we can share the feature request link here and people who interested in that would vote for you! Hope all above make some help :)
We're looking for a solution on how to best deal with the situation where multiple authors are working on the same page. If the first author pushes in the content, the second should have a way to merge it when he tries to publish. Launches appears to be a way to take care of this but it doesn't seem to be handling content merging. Is there any way an author can view the diff(and or do merge) of the content that might have been pushed by another author while they were working concurrently ?
Please help with any pointers.
Page modifications happen in real time to the underlying structure. They also happen at as small a level as possible.i.e. If you go into a text area and modify the text there, the text node is changed on the server, you aren't saving the entire page.
The only way that person A could interfere with what person B is doing is if they were working on the exact same area of the page. Which, honestly is a process issue. I say this because the answer to your question is that there is nothing out of the box to handle this type of scenario and if you are on 6.0 or higher and looking at the JCR3. JCR3 handles this far worse than the older version did. Last time I checked it didn't support nodes at all
Adding to what Bailey said, AEM OOB allow multiple users to edit same page in real time, though if multiple users are working on same node will be a reason of conflict. Such cases can be managed by defining a process like:
1. Take a lock of page and edit page or
2. Create versions of page and publish versions
I'm working on a project that's got a great JIRA setup and awesome buy-in of everyone for the agile development process. The issue I'm having is that tickets stack up in code review. I'd like to be able to see who code reviewed what, much like I can see who has closed out which tickets.
I know that metrics are there to be used for good and not evil, so I want to do this to ensure that people spending time code reviewing are properly credited instead of that time not being recognized at all.
Currently, everyone who does code review assigns themselves to the ticket (which is unassigned upon being placed into the "Ready for Review" workflow state), so at some point there is a record of them working on it. Is this a good way to track the reviewers and is there a way to get aggregate information this after the fact? If not, is there a better way of representing this information in JIRA?
Thanks!
A simple solution would be to add a custom field called 'Code Reviewer' of type select a user. You would be able to search on that and report on it.
You could workflow it so that when the issue is transitioned out of your 'Code Review' status a window pops up containing only the "Code Reviewer' custom field to be completed.
What you need to do:
Create a new custom field - this is done in the 'Issues' configuration menu. Ensure your custom field uses the 'select a user' type.
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+a+Custom+Field
Create a new Screen - this is also done in the 'Issues configuration menu. On your new screen you need to make sure that the only field that is visible is your new custom field.
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Defining+a+Screen
Edit your workflow. Find the transition from out of 'Code Review' and associate it with your custom screen.
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Workflow
The result will be that when a user transitions out of 'Code Review' they will have the custom screen pop-up. They can then select the name of the person who did the code review and this will be populated in the custom field.
I am looking to create a timer on a quiz that I am creating in Google Forms. I have found this post here - How to add a timer to Google Forms for a School Quiz? - from 2013 where it's mentioned that scripting might make this possible eventually. I am wondering if anyone has figured this out or has a solution. Ideally I would like to have the timer start when someone opens the form and auto submit or stop receiving submissions after a set elapsed time.
Thanks in advance :)
A Previous Question has mentioned this before. Right now you are correct, you cannot time a quiz using a script at the moment. Though this question does mention some "workarounds" such as using the Form Limiter tool posted in that question.
Also this was mentioned as a viable solution:
One way is to use Qualtrics. It has a "timing" question which can
automatically submit the page once the time is complete.
So, if your sections can be placed in 3 different pages, its quite
easy: Place a timing question on the top of each section with the time
settings.
And This link Tells you how to set the general settings of time limits (such as, open test on April 14th close on April 15th). You can set specific date limits but still no timer.

Use an addon. Some work well, others don’t. A good one is Quilgo Time and Proctoring. But as with any addon, you have to sign in. If you decide to use a different addon, be wary of the requirements. You will also have to make a Quilgo account if you use the suggested addon. But to have it stop accepting responses, you can either use an addon (Form Limit Response - Limit Form Close) or just do it in the form settings (manual turn off).

We're working on a fitness application where people run and carry out a physical activity for the community as part of a workout.
For example, on Wednesday, Axel ran 5.6km and helped dig a wild flower garden.
We want to build an easy way for users to share these stories on their timelines in Facebook with a map of the course they ran and a sentance that describes the activity. We've opted to use the fitness.runs common action and can provide the course information easily enough, however it's not clear if or how we can add a custom parameter task in the sentence. Ideally the story (with accompanied map) would read:
*Axel* ran *5.6* km to *help dig a wild flower garden* with GoodGym.
Any advice on how to get that working would be greatly appreciated.
I do not think this is possible. Looking at both the run action and the course object you cannot add custom properties. For example, when you go to configure the run action you see the following message at the top "Common Action Type: Run You are viewing the configuration options for the common Action Type: Run. These are read only and are displayed for informational purposes only."
However you might want to consider using User Messages which "allow users to write a personalized message attached to this action." Then you could encourage users to write something about what they helped to do.
