feat: Multiple active projects #119

Closed vrokolos closed 4 years ago

vrokolos commented 5 years ago

Can we have a setting in config to active multiple active projects at once? I've got a project with multiple subfolders each a different jira project.

gioboa commented 5 years ago

Hi @vrokolos all the plugin features are straight to one project. Use one or more project at once maybe should be possible, I need to think how implement the feature? :smile: :+1:

We don't have the notion of a "current project". We're a DevOps company and we have a lot of customers that we all support from a single backlog by squad (team). On our (team) Kanban board we have tickets from all projects (i.e. Jira namespaces, which represent customers).

It would make sense for us to allow listing all tickets of a (Kanban) board, e.g. filtered by statuses (e.g. "show all tickets from board 'Foo Bar' where status not in [ Backlog, Done ]").

Not sure if you have ever envisioned such a use case. :worried:

gioboa commented 4 years ago

Hi, so you meen that your Kanban board isn't under a specific project? If you search for a specific task which JQL you use? Can you send me an example?

anothertobi commented 4 years ago

Hi @gioboa

I am working together with @bittner.

We use our Kanban board as an aggregator for multiple projects.

A simple JQL query could look like Squad = Capella AND resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY Rank ASC. This will search over all projects in Jira (due to the lack of project =) for issues "assigned" to a squad (team). We implemented the Squad field as a custom field in Jira.

Sometimes we also search using other filters (e.g. filter = "Projects Capella" AND ...)

I hope this helps y'all 🙈

Hi @gioboa,

I'm @bittner's colleague this is an example of JQL query in Jira that we are using: (squad = "Beta Team" OR labels in ("Beta Team")) AND project not in ("Project A", "Project B")

squad is a custom field that we are using in all our issues to assign a ticket to a specific Team.

How you see the filter doesn't have any reference to a specific project.

We saved this query as a filter and we created and configured the kanban board to use the saved filter.

Thanks for your feedback. I will check the possibility to implement logic without current project or with multiple projects.

gioboa commented 4 years ago

I though a bit and we can implement a "wildcard" project. In current project we can select it and the plugin will search in all projects except the hide projects you can define in configuration. What do you think?

bittner commented 4 years ago

Anyone using Jira would probably define their workflow as "product centric" (project / customer / product / component) or "support centric" (generic view across several or all projects). But isn't "project" just an arbitrary filter? Maybe it's a common one, but it's totally arbitrary, isn't it?

How I understand the plugin is:

Wouldn't it make sense to use generic JQL for the filtering? Since "project" seems to be a popular starting point for filtering this could be proposed by default when we create a new filtering. Hence, this could be a "PROJECT in ..." by default, but editable and replaceable by some other valid JQL.

Shouldn't we simply have a set of predefined JQL queries that can be easily edited? Without focusing too much on "a project"? (Where are those queries stored by the way? I have a hard time spotting it in the code.)

gioboa commented 4 years ago

You can find all the used JQL in the project readme. Here My first idea was to create a Jira viewer and select a specific project it's a constraint in all the logic. Add the ability to define custom JQL I think it can be possible.

gioboa commented 4 years ago

With current code there is the possibility to define a custom JQL, but the results are filtered by project. :expressionless:
