Project tickets

Project tickets are the work items inside each project. The project detail page lists every ticket in the project with eight filters and rich per-row data; clicking a ticket key opens the ticket detail view with editable title and description, tabs for comments / subtasks / time logs / attachments, and a sidebar with all the metadata fields (status, assignee, reporter, priority, ticket type, due date, time estimate, watchers).

Getting started

Open Project management > Projects and click Go to project in any row's three-dot menu (or click any project's row to open it).

How it works

The project detail page has two surfaces:

Each ticket has a unique ticket key that's the project's key followed by the ticket number (e.g., OPS-12).

Step-by-step guide

Browse the tickets in a project

1. Open Project management > Projects and pick a project
2. The project detail page opens with the project name as the header
3. The status tabs (e.g., Open / In progress / Closed) appear below; click any to scope the list to tickets in that status
4. Click the Filters button to expand the eight filter popovers
5. Each ticket row shows the columns below in Reference

Create a ticket

1. On the project detail page, click Create ticket at the top right (requires the Update tickets permission)
2. The Create ticket modal opens (large size)
3. Fill in title, type, status, assignee, reporter, priority, due date, and description as needed
4. Click Create
5. The new ticket appears in the list with a fresh key

Filter the ticket list

Click the Filters button to expand the filter row. Eight filters are available:

Each filter has its own Reset and Update buttons. Click the reset icon at the end of the filter row to clear every filter at once. Total results: [N] on the right reflects the current row count.

Change rows per page

1. Use the Per page dropdown at the top right
2. Pick 5, 10, 25, or 50

Open a ticket

1. Click the ticket key in the Key column
2. The ticket detail view opens with the title, description, tabs, and sidebar

Edit the ticket title

1. Click the title at the top of the ticket detail view
2. The title becomes an editable input with placeholder "Ticket title"
3. Press Escape or click away to cancel
4. Press Enter or click outside to save (the title saves automatically when you confirm)

Edit the ticket description

1. Click the Description area
2. The rich-text editor opens with a "comment" toolbar
3. Edit your description
4. Click Save changes to commit, or Cancel to discard
5. The empty state placeholder reads "Click to add a description..."

Comment on a ticket

1. Open the ticket and switch to the Comments tab
2. Click Add comment to open the editor

5. Each comment shows the author's avatar, name, relative timestamp, and (for your own comments or with permission) Edit and Delete links
6. The empty state reads "Be the first one to comment."

Comment posting requires the Comment on tickets permission.

Track subtasks

Open the ticket and switch to the Subtasks tab (only shown when the ticket isn't itself a subtask). The progress bar at the top reads [N]/[M] completed. Use the inline form to add a new subtask. Each subtask row shows:

Click the pencil icon to inline-edit title, assignee, priority, and due date together. The empty state reads "Break this ticket into smaller tasks".

When viewing a ticket that is a subtask, the parent banner at the top of the page shows "Parent: [PARENT_KEY] - [parent title]" as a clickable link.

Log time on a ticket

1. Open the ticket and switch to the Time log tab
2. Click Add time log (requires the Create time logs permission)
3. Use the time log dialog to capture project, ticket (pre-filled with this ticket), category, start/end times, and notes

Good to know

• Title and description save automatically when you click outside or press Enter. There's no separate save button on those fields.
• The sidebar on the ticket detail page is auto-saving on every change, with a small "Saved" indicator after each save. You can edit a field and tab away without losing it.
• Subtasks are themselves tickets. They have their own detail pages and can be opened individually with the same edit experience. The progress bar on the parent ticket's Subtasks tab is computed from the children's checkbox state.
• Watchers receive notifications about ticket activity. Add yourself with Start watching, or add a teammate from the multi-select. Anyone watching a ticket can be removed by anyone (including themselves) with the X icon.
• Ticket types and statuses are configured per project, not globally. A ticket type called "Bug" in one project is unrelated to a "Bug" type in another project.
• The Configure ticket types menu lives in the top-right three-dot menu next to Create ticket. See Ticket types for the full configuration flow.
• The Time estimate field uses the format 2w 4d 6h 45m. Pieces are optional; 4h and 2d 30m are both valid.
• The Time log tab on a ticket is local to that ticket. The full time-tracking experience (across every ticket) lives at Time tracking.
• Bookings projects hide the per-row three-dot menu on the list, since the platform manages those tickets automatically.
• The Filters toggle remembers its last state per user, so an admin who likes filters expanded keeps that view across sessions.

FAQ

Q: Can I move a ticket between projects?

A: There's no in-app move-ticket flow today. The ticket key is permanent and includes the project key, so moving would change the key. If you need to move work, archive the ticket and recreate it in the new project.

Q: How do I delete a ticket permanently?

A: Tickets can only be archived. Archiving preserves the ticket and all its history (comments, subtasks, time logs, attachments). Permanent deletion isn't supported on purpose to keep the history intact.

Q: My status / priority dropdown is missing options. Why?

A: Statuses are per-project. If a status you expect isn't there, it may not be configured for this specific project. The same applies to ticket types.

Q: Can a ticket have multiple parents (i.e., be a subtask of more than one ticket)?

A: No. A ticket has at most one parent. The parent banner shows that single relationship.

Q: What's the maximum subtask depth?

A: Subtasks can't have their own subtasks. The Subtasks tab is hidden on tickets that are themselves subtasks. This keeps the tree at most two levels deep.

Q: Where do file attachments live?

A: Attachments are stored in the platform's secure file storage and linked to the ticket. The Download icon fetches a signed URL.

Q: Why is the Add comment button missing?

A: Your role lacks the Comment on tickets permission. Ask an admin to grant it in Settings > User management.

Q: Why is the time-log entry on the ticket different from the global time tracker?

A: The Time log tab on a ticket only shows entries logged against that specific ticket. The Time tracking page shows every entry across every project and ticket, with filtering and reporting.

Q: How do I track tickets visually with a kanban board?

A: A dedicated kanban view isn't part of the project detail page today; the page uses status tabs plus the filterable list. For visual tracking, group by the Status column or filter to a specific status.
