Create Card Screen

Again, unless I missed it in the other threads:

1. How can I get a story point field to show up on the New Card screen? Right now, I create the card then have to edit the story point field from the task or planning board screen.
2. Is it possible to make it so that when I hit create, it carries over values such as component or assignee?

Hi Tenuki,

To add your Story points on your card you will simply need to go in:
1) Tools - Configuration
2) CARD TEMPLATES
3) Add the story point to your "Issue Type" card templates

All the fields in your big card template will be injected in your Create Card panel.

I am not sure I understand your second question.
Would you be able to specify your need with an example?

Cheers,
JC

jchuet, Story Points is already on my card template. It displays in the lower right corner of all card views. I just does not show up in the create card template. It is a required field. The default value is None. I always have to go in and change this after I create the cards

For the second question, when I am creating a batch of cards, every time I hit create, component always gets set to none. So, I have to change this every time I hit create. It simply would be more convenient to have component default to the last value since I am usually creating cards in batches by component. The same thing goes for assignee.

Hi Tenuki,

Is your story point field on the JIRA creation screen?
GH will try to respect as much as possible the JIRA configuration of your project so if the field is not present in your Issue Type creation screen then it will not appear in the Card creation panel.

As for the component selection no this is not supported. The default selection will be based on the planning board right hand side box selection. So if in the Version mode only your FixVersion will be preselected, if in Component mode then the component will be preselected.

As for the assignee you might want to take advantage of the automatic assignation of JIRA that is supported by GreenHopper.
You can set a leader to your component and then from the project configuration set the default assignee to be the leader o the components.

JC, it IS in the JIRA issue creation screen. Are there other administration settings I need to check?

NM, I figured it out. I had to make the field required on the field configuration screen.
