For a new project, it gets all versions history event when released

[Carolina SILVA]

hi community

when I create a new project, due to dataloading we put in place, it gets all versions even released ones!
The impact is that we reached 129 releases, and for the last new project, the project admin was obliged to set released all the former ones.

Any clue to solve that?

Hi @Carolina SILVA

Thanks for the question.

I think this happens because versions are linked to issues. When you create a new project, Jira brings over all versions that are associated with those issues — even old/released ones.

So if your issues were linked to historical versions, those versions will appear in the new project as well. Jira doesn’t automatically filter them out, so you’ll need to clean them up afterward.
