Advanced Roadmaps auto scheduler ignores scope

[pdevannelanglais]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the auto scheduler from Advanced Roadmap on Jira Data Center (v8.22.2). I would like to be able to ask the auto scheduler to schedule only a subset of issues that I selected by checking there respective check boxes in the scope section. However when I press the auto schedule button, all the issues in the plan are getting scheduled.

According to documentation the scheduler should only schedule the selected issues, is there something I'm doing wrong ?

Is there any update to this topic? I have the same problem. As it is, we are not able to use this feature.

Kind regards

Hi @pdevannelanglais , welcome to the Community!

Would you please share this documentation with me? This behaviour is not true as far as I'm aware, so I would like to verify. Auto-scheduling should affect all issues within your plan (as long as they are estimated or are parent issues)

Hi Michael

This is how I interpret it:

Hi @pdevannelanglais , thanks for the screenshot! You're definitely interpreting this correctly, I was able to verify that the same functionality exists in Jira cloud and my test plan did only schedule the issues I selected.

If more than your selection is getting scheduled, it sounds like it would either be a bug, or the issues are getting their dates from somewhere else.

For the issues being scheduled that should not be- are they parent issues at the Epic-level or higher? Or are they Story-level issues? Are they receiving start/end dates from somewhere else such as a sprint?

Hi @Michael Andolfatto 

Sorry for the delay

All issues in my planned are getting scheduled: they are stories and not epics. I checked the check box Use sprint dates when issues don't have start and end dates, but all non selected stories, including the ones that are not part of sprints are getting scheduled.

A couple of things that I can add about my plan:

- there is only one team

- there are some non estimated stories

- there are some stories without any version/release assigned

- lots of dependencies between stories are defined.

@Michael Andolfatto  Any thoughts ?

I am having the same issue with the auto-scheduler.  It is ignoring Scope no matter what I try...
