Respect Jira screen scheme

Prevent editing of fields that aren’t added to the issue screen scheme

Jira Cloud, Jira Server, Jira Data Center

Use the “Respect Jira screen scheme” toggle switch to adjust the field mapping settings.

When the toggle switch is “on” - if a field can’t be updated in a Jira project, you can’t edit it in BigGantt column views.

For example, when you try to edit a task value in BigGantt, the app tries to find a matching Jira issue field in a project. When the field doesn’t exist (that issue doesn’t have it), the app doesn’t let you edit the field.

Settings can be adjusted per Jira project, just like other field mapping settings.

Note: restriction doesn’t apply to fields that have been mapped.

 

Inline Editing

Data type lables - inline editing available

You can use inline editing to add/ remove/ edit value of a lables field.

 

Overview Columns

Select data type is availble for custom Box columns in the Overveiw module.

Usability

Timeboxes synchronized with a Jira “sprint” field - warnings displayed within the app

When automatic timebox creation is based on sprints:

  • It's NOT possible to manually add new timebox

  • It’s NOT possible to manually remove a timebox

In your project box, go to Box Configuration > Tasks > Scope definition.

 

 

Changes made in the Task Details Dialog are saved when you click outside of the pop-up

You can use inline editing to update a task. When you edit values in the Task Details pop-up, changes are always saved. Even when you just close the pop-up or clisk outside of the pop-up.

 

Message - task period can’t be changed

When task can’t be moved on a timeline, you see a message explaining why task can’t be moved.

 

“Manual” tasks - duration behavior

Duration of a task (duration working days) is respected by taks in a manual mode. Non-working days are taken into account when rescheudling a task.

Example:
A task start date is Friday. Task Duration is set to 2 days. Task ends on Monday.

 

 

Column Views

On screens where column views can’t be saved (there is no drop down to change a column view) - the Box Admin column view setup is treated as the default. Users can restor the admin view.

Applies to:

  • Issue Details WBS Widget

 

Keyboard shortcuts

“Basic item” renamed “basic task”
