System Administrators often find themselves caught trying to fulfill the promises and hype that come with a new system purchase. As ERP companies learned the hard way over the last twenty years, a system is only as good as its user adoption. Metrics cannot flow to management without individual users, on a consistent basis, doing […]
Generally the answer is no, this setting is at the system level only. There may be an addon that could accomplish what you want, I found one candidate but I have not used it personally. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.metainf.jira.plugin.emailissue
The first question is a problem that many people have issues with. Each successive email response adds more and more to the bottom of the message.

Strategies for successfully traversing the ever shifting Atlassian UI Atlassian’s JIRA is a fascinating platform for me to use, teach about, and study. I have been working with computers since I was a child in the 80’s. My parents did not buy an Atari game machine when they were popular, we bought an Atari 400 […]
JIRA fields, columns on agile boards, screens, and issue types are all customizable. I encourage companies to use terms that mean something to the team vs using blanket terminology. The easiest example is a “stand up meeting” instead of a “scrum”. Most people do not understand the word scrum outside of rugby so it makes […]
Using custom issue types and multiple nested workflows to bring business management processes into a project without disrupting the core workflow.
