I’m a bit surprised that Jira doesn’t have a notion of drafts. You start writing a task, then you think that it might be best to know whether it’s worth doing. What do you do with this half written task? Do you create it? At the moment I just keep them in an open browser tab, which is… not ideal.

@lmika ahhhh Jira. Is there a more uniformly hated tool?

@lmika That’s when I create an “investigation” task. 😉

“Investigate if I should rewrite feature X”. And I allow myself x amount of time to do it.

@furstenberg Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I might give that a try. Thanks for that.

@lmika No Problem.

We use that in my team quite a lot to figure out directions to take as we work on a soon to be 25 year old web app.
