    Description

      Issue Summary

      Splitting an Issue makes the Burnup Chart calculate completion in a wrong way.

      Reproduced on 8.20.10 but possibly affecting other versions, too (both older and newer).

      Steps to Reproduce

      With a Board using Story Points:

      1. Create a Sprint set to start a few days past
      2. Create a Story "A" with 12 Story Points
      3. Add Story A to the Sprint
      4. Remove Story A from the Sprint
      5. Start the Sprint
      6. Split Story A into 3 issues: A, A.1 and A.2. Each of them with 4 Story Points
      7. Add A and A.1 to the Sprint already started
      8. Complete Story A
      9. Check the Burnup Chart

      Expected Results

      Each time Story "A" is completed, we'd see "Completed Work" drop by 4, which is the Story Points for Story A.

      Actual Results

      Each time Story A is completed, we see the "Completed Work" drop by 8 instead of 4, as if accounting for the A.1 too:

      Workaround

      No workaround available at the moment. An alternative is for the affected Sprints to rely on other Charts that are not affected (like the Burndown).

      Troubleshooting

      To help investigate the timeline of events concerning the Sprint and Issue Splitting, we may rely on the procedures below.

      Save the output of each Issue involved in the splitting into a json file:

      https://jira.base.url/rest/api/2/issue/JIRA-100?expand=changelog
      https://jira.base.url/rest/api/2/issue/JIRA-101?expand=changelog
      

      And run this Linux example command to parse the JSON into a leaner timeline:

      $ cat JIRA-100.json JIRA-101.json | jq -j '.fields.created, "\t", .key, "\t", "CREATED", "\n", .key as $key | (.changelog.histories[] | .created as $changelogdate | (.items[] | select(.field == "Sprint" or .field == "status" or .field == "Story Points") | $changelogdate, "\t", $key, "\t", .field, "\t[", .fromString[0:30], "]\t->\t[", .toString[0:30], "]\n"))' | column -t -s $'\t' | sort -k1 -k2 -s

      To correlate the Sprints, you may use the DB query below:

      select i.id as "Issue Id", concat(p.pkey, concat('-', i.issuenum)) as "Issue Key", cf.id as "CF Id", cf.cfname as "CF Name", v.stringvalue as "Sprint Id", s."NAME" as "Sprint Name", s."RAPID_VIEW_ID", s."STARTED", s."CLOSED", s."START_DATE", s."ACTIVATED_DATE", s."END_DATE", s."COMPLETE_DATE"
      from jiraissue i
      inner join project p on p.id = i.project
      inner join customfield cf on cf.cfname = 'Sprint'
      inner join customfieldvalue v on v.issue = i.id and v.customfield = cf.id
      left join "AO_60DB71_SPRINT" s on concat(s."ID", '') = v.stringvalue
      where i.id in (1000000, 1000001, 1000002);
      

      Filtering by the Issue Ids (from the JSON files) or somehow.

      To translate the dates below from Epoch Time to human readable you can use any Epoch Time conversion utility or website.

      START_DATE: When the Sprint was planned to start
      ACTIVATED_DATE: When the Sprint was actually started (button pressed)
      END_DATE: When the Sprint was planned to finish
      COMPLETE_DATE: When the Sprint was actually finished (button pressed)
