Auto assigning versions to created issues

[Mario]

Helllo! I would like the newly created issues to get a default "Version". For example, when creating an issue, I would like that issue to have a "New" version assigned to it.

The reasoning for that is because when we look at the backlog, we would like to see which issues are newly created and which issues are not. 

Thank you in advance for your reply!

Hi @Mario Andrei ,

This can be done using Jira Cloud's native automation. I would definitely recommend reading up on it.

You can create a new rule (with some optional conditions) like the one below:

Using Jira versions for this may not be the best way to designate an issue as newly created though. I would personally apply a quick filter on my board/backlog called "Newly Created" with the following JQL: created > -7d which will display issues that have only been created in the last week (customizable)

Hi @Michael Andolfatto

Thank you so much for the reply, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. This will help us navigate the backlog a little bit better if we can attach more statuses to the issues.

The filter is also a really good idea, thank you for that suggestion!
