The way we work is:

  • We create test plans
  • Add the tests from a test set
  • Create several test executions with subset of tests from the test plan

What I would like to know if it's possible is: when creating the test execution, this should inherit some fields from the test plan (example: fix versions).

Hi @Carolina Godinho

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As I researched, Xray doesn’t support inheriting fields from a Test Plan to a Test Execution out of the box, as they are separate issue types. If you need this behavior for copying Fix Version, you can achieve it using Jira Automation by triggering on Test Execution creation and copying values from the linked Test Plan using smart values.

Do you need an example of automation for this?
