Parent PBI status changed automatically when task status changed

Added by Fei Yuan almost 8 years ago

We are using PBI with status 'New', 'Approved', 'Committed', and 'Done', and Task with status 'New', 'In progress', and 'Done'. Although the PBI and Task have some status with the same literals (such as 'New' and 'Done'), the status of PBIs and Tasks are logically different in our project. However, I found 2 problems for status changing:

  1. When a PBI is in status 'New', changing its only task from 'New' to 'In progress' will also change the PBI to 'In progress' automatically, in which case, however, the 'in progress' status is a illegal status for PBIs
  2. When a PBI is in status 'committed', changing its only task from any status to 'New' will also change the PBI to 'New' automatically.

The expected behaviours for both case should be that the PBI's status shouldn't change no matter what status its only task changes.

We are using scrum plugin v0.16.1, could you pls help?

Thanks!

This is not a but, it's a feature.

The idea behind this feature is to make easier the life to Scrum teams, parent PBI status has been forgotten a lot of times in all the teams I have been involved in...

Anyway I will add settings to enable/disable this behaviour (#1266), so you will be able to disable it.

Sure, we just upgrade the plugin today and it is working just as we expected. That rocks! Many thanks for your help!
