Why am I receiving an error message when trying to save story points?

The issue with saving estimates in Jira might stem from particular configuration settings. It's crucial to verify that the estimation field is appropriately configured and deemed valid for the necessary issue types. If you're unable to view specific issues, such as bugs or tasks, in Agility Poker Planning for Jira, this suggests that an estimation field, like Story Points, needs to be included for these issue types. For comprehensive guidance on how to configure this, please consult the available documentation here Jira Configuration. Adhering to these instructions should enable smooth estimate saving in Jira.

Other error messages relating to this include:

 Error Message: "Error while saving estimate - {"errorMessages":["There was an error parsing JSON. Check that your request body is valid."]}"

Answer: This error typically occurs when the estimation values being used don't align with Jira's expected format for the Estimation Field. For instance, if you've chosen 'Time Estimations', the data is formatted to suit the 'Original Estimation' field, not the 'Story Point' field. Consequently, Jira rejects this mismatched format, leading to the error. To resolve this, please ensure that your selected estimation value correctly corresponds with the Estimation Field you intend to use. Remember, you can adjust the estimation settings either when initiating a session or while editing within an existing session. By aligning your estimation values with the appropriate field, you should be able to save story points without encountering this error.

Why am I unable to cast votes on issues in the Agility Poker Planning session?

Agility Poker Planning for Jira incorporates various user roles to facilitate efficient teamwork. As part of the setup process, users are assigned specific roles. Generally, only those designated as moderators and estimators are granted the right to vote on issues. Observers, on the other hand, do not have this voting privilege.

If you're experiencing difficulties in voting on issues within Agility Poker Planning for Jira, it's likely that your current role is that of an observer. However, you can switch to a participant role simply by clicking the participant button within the session, which will then enable you to engage fully and cast your votes.

As a moderator, how can I invite users to the Agility Poker Planning session?

In Agility Poker Planning for Estimation Tool for Jira, each session you create generates a distinct link that can be distributed through email or any other preferred method of communication.

To obtain this session link, simply go to the session's page and use the copy link button. Alternatively, the link can be copied directly from the browser’s address bar or by using the copy link feature found in the breadcrumbs of the estimation session.

Sharing this link is advantageous as it eliminates the need to manually add each user as a participant. By clicking on the shared link, users are automatically included as participants in the session. Please note that for private sessions, participants or observers must be pre-added in the session's settings before they can join.

Is it possible to have multiple moderators in a session?

No, a session is limited to just one moderator at any given time.
