Jira workflow for new projects

Associated workflow creation

I'm a Jira Cloud user and begining from some version 6, I noticed that when I create a project, it automatically creates a Workflow and Issue Scheme that is prepended by the project key and which is a copy of the default scheme.

I always had to make a cleanup after creating a project.

Default workflow for new projects

I also miss a feature that would allow me to make a custom workflow (and globally custom project setting) the default for new projects I create.

Solution: Create with shared configuration

While searching, I noticed that with Jira Cloud which is version 7.1.0 at the time I write, there is a link at the bottom of the "Create project" wizard:

"Create with shared configuration" will allow me to select the project I want the new one to share configuration with.

  • The new created project will use the same configuration as the project I select
  • There will be no creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme that I need to cleanup


This feature is a solution to the reported issues:

  • https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/45156/how-do-you-change-the-default-workflow-to-a-custom-one

Also having a Jira 6.4 Hosted, the dialog is a bit different and unfortunately what I avoid is only the creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme. I have to click on "Jira Default Schemes":

The new project will have the default configuration that I will have to manually change, but no Workflow and Issue Scheme will be added to the system.

Undefined global vim

Defining vim as global outside of Neovim When developing plugins for Neovim, particularly in Lua, developers often encounter the "Undefined global vim" warning. This warning can be a nuisance and disrupt the development workflow. However, there is a straightforward solution to this problem by configuring the Lua Language Server Protocol (LSP) to recognize 'vim' as a global variable. Getting "Undefined global vim" warning when developing Neovim plugin While developing Neovim plugins using Lua, the Lua language server might not recognize the 'vim' namespace by default. This leads to warnings about 'vim' being an undefined global variable. These warnings are not just annoying but can also clutter the development environment with unnecessary alerts, potentially hiding other important warnings or errors. Defining vim as global in Lua LSP configuration to get rid of the warning To resolve the "Undefined global vi...

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo...

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration Want to feed multiple files into GitHub Copilot Chat from Neovim without listing each one manually? Let's add a tiny feature that does exactly that: a file glob that includes full file contents . In this post, we'll walk through what CopilotChat.nvim offers out of the box, why the missing piece matters, and how to implement a custom #file_glob:<pattern> function to include the contents of all files matching a glob. Using Copilot Chat with Neovim CopilotChat.nvim brings GitHub Copilot's chat right into your editing flow. No context switching, no browser hopping — just type your prompt in a Neovim buffer and let the AI help you refactor code, write tests, or explain tricky functions. You can open the chat (for example) with a command like :CopilotChat , then provide extra context using built-in functions. That “extra context” is where the magic really happens. Built-in functio...
