Custom field similair to affects version

[Jenifer Kuntz]

We have a custom field for versions where the values are your typical versioning, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, ect. 

We want to be able to search these values using >= to find recent versions and the like.

The system versions field allow you to do this search but we are not able to do this with a text/label field and we can not use the number field due to the additional points.  Is there any way to accomplish this?

Hi Jenifer,

Instead of using a text or label field, you can create a new custom field of type Version Picker (single version).   The use of this kind of field will allow you to make JQL searches just like the other system version fields like fixVersion and affectsVersion.  I was able to test this out in my Jira 7.8.0 version and I can confirm that this works in the same way for my custom field of that type.

I hope this helps.
