can Story Number be read-only and hyperlinked (clickable) in the Agile Board?

On the Agile Board Module, we would like to see the Story Number be read-only AND also be able to click on it to get into the story itself. 

 

Can this be done and if so, any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thank you

Ann

Hi @Ann Lafferty ,

 

Basically the "Number" is inherited from the task table and we are making sure on the story table the number field should be read only despite status on the task so its overridden and made ready.

and also one in the Original task number and the other one is the number :

THank you @Hemanth M1 .  That works!  😁  It looks like "original number" is the clickable story number, and "number" is just the same value without being a hyperlink (clickable).   

 

I did some investigating and found that the Dictionary Entry Override for rm_story.number has the following boxes check marked:

  • Override read only
  • Read only 

I wonder why there are 2 numbers from different columns.  Can you shed any insight into this?  I'll appreciate your thoughts, even hunches.

 

appreciating you!

Ann
