Epic Colour verses Epic Color

[Michael Simon]

One of our instances has a custom field created spelled Colour a newer instance spells it Color. Did grasshopper when they switched to Agile also switch how the spell fields?

I had to update the table directly to change the column name in our DEV database. Now it migrates over properly to production.

I ran into the same name difference problem when trying to migrate a project from one instance to another.
Renaming the field did the trick. Howto is described   https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-35937

That has nothing to do with this question.

Sorry, I was not explicit enough. Please see changed post above.

I´m viewing the latest version of JIRA Agile (6.6.80) and JIRA Agile on Cloud and there is a mismatch in the spelling causing me not to be able to restore a single project into my server instance!

[Sandra Axelsdóttir [Tempo]]

My solution was to edit the field in the db before project import, as I don't wanted to mess with the live db table.

It's possible to change the names, and it might be affected by the language you've got set as well (For those who may not know, the English word is "colour" and the American-English variation is "color"). Can't say I've noticed it, but a quick look across the instances I've got shows consistency.

The obvious question is which versions of Jira Agile / Greenhopper are you using, and what are your language settings?

[Michael Simon]

I don't know for sure the version of Greenhopper that the one instance started with. But it has only been a couple of months back. Now installing Jira Agile in a new instance does it have the new spelling. As far as the language settings, I looked and looked and all that I can find are set the same.

Versions:

JIRA 6.0.8

Agile Project Management for JIRA (Build: #1d66b3c2c376+) or 6.3.1

Ok, you should be able to check the plugin version and default language by looking at the "system information" page under admin. (I'd use search in the browser - the page can be very long and techy)

You also should check what language you have set in your profile.
