Awesome. Glad to hear that steps are being taken to improve the experience.

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / Posts still not approved

I posted two feature requests earlier this week (Monday I believe). Neither have these posts have yet shown up.

Were they not acceptable? Could someone tell me why if they were not?

Could someone explain why our posts must be “approved” before they can be seen? Are we that unruly or untrustworthy?

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / More powerful transitions

I’m currently forced to create a slew of transitions because the FROM filter is lacking in potency.

• I need to be able to specify a group of values a field can be so that I’m not forced to create all permutations of transitions between a group of states a card can move “freely” about.
• I need to be able to specify that something is (set) as opposed to (not set), no (any) is not what I need as it includes (not set)

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / svn 1.5

Should Mingle work w/ svn 1.5? It doesn’t seem to read our repo anymore, just want to know if its our problem or Mingle’s

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Make comments more prominently displayed

Done… I’ll post a how-to on my blog tomorrow that should tide us over until TW fixes it.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Make comments more prominently displayed

Wow, that’s ironic. I was just complaining about this today and I came to post again, and lo and behold its the one year anniversary of this post. PLEASE fix comments. I’m about to write a stylish or GM plugin to move them and force my entire team to run it. Actually, maybe I can hack the views… hmm…

Any way, after using Mingle for over a year, we STILL don’t see the comments. They’re just in the wrong place. I know this is a candidate, but I want to make sure it’s really on the radar.

Topic: Cruise General Discussion / Cruise with no SCM please

It would be silly not to support this. We currently use TeamCity to automate dev db snapshots. It does this once a day on a schedule and has nothing to do with source control. It’s not because we don’t want to use source control, its because it doesn’t need source control.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / Filtering trees seems quite limited

That worked for me for what I wanted, thanks. I thought I’d tried that before, but I probably didn’t trim down the card types far enough to only things that had Epics.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / Filtering trees seems quite limited

You see how limiting this is right? I can’t make a view for all cards in an epic that aren’t done. That’s quite a missing feature. I have to show them all and then sort by Status. Ew. Should I raise this in feature requests or is this on the radar?

I’d be happy with the custom MQL filters that have been mentioned before if those are coming soon…

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / data-series-chart x-label-end doesn't support Today

It just says that a valid date is required. Of course if I just take the line out, it defaults to today, but its annoying, especially when other charts support Today.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / Filtering trees seems quite limited

We currently have a Epic->Feature->Story->Task->Bug tree.

Several items are generally just placed under the Epic node, so we often have stories, tasks and bugs all at the same level, under the Epic.

I want to create a list of all of our stories, tasks and bugs that have Status = ‘Not Done’ and are in a specific Epic.

I cannot figure out how to do this. If I add Status = ‘Not Done’ to the Story level, it will only show me stories that are ‘Not Done’ as well as any of their children. The problem is that it hides the Tasks/Bugs who do not have Story parents.

As I missing something or is this just a broken scenario?

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / Calculating when analysis/dev/testing completed

I posted on how I did something similar. Basically, I retroactively added these status change dates to my mingle db so I could show burn up charts. Here’s my post on the subject: http://blog.eleutian.com/CategoryView,category,mingle.aspx

If they delete the link, just google/i’m feeling lucky “adding burn up charts to mingle”

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / [Fixed] Dropdown option highlighting misleading

This is fixed in 2.0, so it’s no longer an issue.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Tab order on card entry

With the addition of the new Wiki buttons you can no longer reasonably tab from the title to the body. It would be nice if tabbing out of the title put you in the body.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Filter by (Set)

Actually, my motivation is for transitions, which do not offer the double negative approach. Good idea though on the filters.

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Filter by (Set)

The oppositive of Not Set… I don’t remember if this has been suggested or not, but we’d find it very useful.

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Discrepencies between 3d and non-3d stack charts

David, Published items were still marked done at a date earlier than they were marked published. This is something I want to see reflected in my chart. Look at the 3d picture, you can see areas where there are “done” items stacked on “published” items. This is something that just cannot be done in non-3d charts.

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Discrepencies between 3d and non-3d stack charts

Thanks for the reply David.

The markup you provided does not display what I want to see because of the date published is null on the done series, but I’m sure you knew that. Also, the markup you provided has done and published in the wrong order, which just goes to show how confusing the whole area/stacking + combine thing is :)

What’s the reason that non-3d area charts are the only charts that behave in this fashion (though i’d have to guess bar charts would too, but I haven’t tried them) ? Shouldn’t the type and three-dness just be styles effectively and not actually affect the data of the graph? Could we get that changed? Things are far too confusing as they are and it is apparently impossible to get the graph I want in 2d, yet it is so easy (and logical) in 3d.

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Discrepencies between 3d and non-3d stack charts

The only way to make an accurate burn-up/down chart appears to be with a 3d chart. Non3d charts appear to be additive even if you don’t want them to be. The only difference between these two charts is the value of three-d:

   x-label-start: SELECT MIN('Date Added')

       color: #1bcc00
       type: area
       data: SELECT 'Date Done', Count(*) WHERE 'Date Done' IS NOT NULL
     - label: Published

       data: SELECT 'Date Published', COUNT(*) WHERE 'Date Published' IS NOT NULL
}}

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Pivot table links with properties from specific card types

If I don’t have a conditions limiting the card types that are valid I get this:

Filter is invalid. Please filter by appropriate card type in order to filter by properties Assigned To, Iteration. Reset filter

It’d be nice if the filter was valid any way and it just intrinsically displayed the correct card types…

Note that this is a non-issue when I have conditions: Type In (Story, Bug, Task)
