How to make the drag & drop -order persistent in JA Roadmap -view

[Stefan Steenvoorden]

While working on the long-term planning in JA Roadmap -view, I use Drag & Drop to group related Capabilities closer together. The order is however not persistent. After a refresh of the page, the order is back to its original order. 

Is there a way to make the order persistent in the JA roadmap view?

Do you mean grouping them in priority order (as @Peter Jessen says above) or do you mean arranging the timing of each capability?

If you want to change the timing of items, you can drag and drop those where you want them then be sure to click the "Sync" button in the upper right. Then you'll be prompted to save any time-related or health-related changes.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for responding to my request. I know about the Sync -button. But my request was more related to grouping issue types based on their mutual context (see my reaction to Peter's response).

Hi @Stefan Steenvoorden ,

The order of themes, portfolio epics, capabilities, and features on the roadmap view in Jira Align is driven by the backlog prioritization. Depending on your context filter (top grey bar - org and time dimensions) you will see different orders of the same items due to different prioritizations at the portfolio vs program level or from one PI to the next.

There is no way to persist manually rearranged sort orders. The only option that might work is to save off a detached instance.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for replying. Prioritization is, as you say, done via the JA Backlog -view. The JA Roadmap -view offers the ability to drag&drop. I.m.o. a nice way to put related Capabilities (i.e. context related, not necessarily, prioritization -related) together. Why would Atlassian offer the drag&drop feature, if the order is lost after a refresh?
