Seriously. The idea that it's just fine to pirate everything because you can or have the tech to do it is appalling to see in this community.

The problem here is not recognizing that the piracy was actually the problem. In what way was it forgivable? Because everybody does it, that makes it okie dokie? Because you don't have a Netflix account? If everyone treated piracy as theft (it is) then no one would have to waste their time investigating it because the collective will would exist to prevent it.

I don't have to imagine it. This is a textbook example of a Jira implementation failure not a Jira failure: "not having any idea how to use or configure it correctly to model the work being done."

If you are talking about my response, I would really love it if you would try to do any of the things you've implied.

If you haven't noticed the chorus of trashing Jira for the sake trashing Jira in this forum you aren't reading it. It borders on the hysterical. A large part of this crowd believes they have an objective handle on cognitive bias yet most of the Jira commentary seems to come from the subjective experiences of developers who simply don't like having their work organized or fixing bugs. Jira is the most extensible, best platform of its type for workflow management & I would argue (without at all being linked to Atlassian in any way other way than having seen it succeed in numerous disparate use cases) that bad experiences with it are the direct result of not having any idea how to use or configure it correctly to model the work being done.

Just going to be very, very disappointed if it doesn't actually fly...

There are myriad ways to misconfigure a cloud instance of Jira. You thought I was referring to the configuration of the actual web app I suppose. That's kind of a silly assumption but gives me a lot of insight into what you've said here...

A quote from a funny TV show still doesn't really make it a thing, does it?

I don't know that this is the way to fix what you believe to be an open issue. It probably is: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Questions/Hide-Close...

If it's not, there probably is a way to do what you are trying to do that you just don't know about.

I work at a very large organization. The user lookups in Jira are lightning fast & the permissions are granular for a reason.

Can't help you with your billing problems but it kind of sounds like a "you" problem.

I have fully configured a Service Desk instance, yes.

It sounds like maybe you aren't actually using the release feature & or that maybe you don't know how to write JQL queries or maybe I don't know anything about the amazingly advanced way you are trying to use the features. "Hey doc, my arm hurts when I do this?" The doctor says "Then don't do it."

I could keep going too but it would be a waste of my time to try & have a reasonable discussion on something which you have prononuced your verdict: "Atlassian is a bunch of decent products drowning in scope creep, terrible cross-product integration, and a painfully slow development cycle that is focused way more on cosmetic features that fixes their trainwreck of a dumpster fire."

All generalizations are false...

Anyone who makes general complaints about Jira like this a) works in a place where Jira has not been correctly configured or b) works in a place with a terrible internet connection c) works in a place where both a) & b) are true or d) doesn't have any idea what they are talking about. P.S. what exactly is "a hot circle of garbage" other than a mixed metaphor?

No, it is not really true. It is completely false & you are correct to question it.
