Active and Inactive Nodes

This function is available in the 1.13.1 and above Smart Issue Templates for Jira version.

Open

By default, all the nodes in the hierarchy are checked and active.

The node can be inactivated in case you don’t need specific nodes to be applied. The following function can be used for the Scheduler as well.

To inactivate the specific node in the hierarchy:

• Click the ‘Edit’ button below the hierarchy name

Open

• Select the node you want to inactivate and click the ‘Actions’ button in this specific node row

• Click the ‘Edit’ item in the ‘Actions’ dropdown as shown on the next screenshot

• Click the checkbox in the ‘Active’ column

• Click the ‘Ready’ button in the following node row

• Click the ‘Update Hierarchy’ button at the footer of the ‘Edit Hierarchy’ page

• Click the ‘Confirm’ button on the ‘Update Hierarchy’ dialog

The parent node and its child sub-task are inactive now. While applying the hierarchy with the help of the ‘Apply’ button or by the scheduler execution the 58 issues will be created instead of the 60 that are in the hierarchy.

As soon as you need all the hierarchy nodes to be applied during the next hierarchy execution go to the ‘Edit hierarchy’ page and mark the ‘Active’ checkbox of the inactive node. Then follow the steps described above.

If the node is checked in the ‘Active’ column it will be applied while the hierarchy applies. All 60 issues will be created.
