Is there a way to link a sprint to a Fix Version/Release?

[Japneet Chandhok]

Is there a away to link or assign a sprint to a release version? Historically, and currently, I've been tagging each ticket to a fix version, but my team is wondering if we can actually tag the entire sprint to a release version. I've looked through the articles and resources and can't seem to find anything.

Hello @Japneet Chandhok 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

That specific capability does not exist.

What problem are you trying to solve by associating a Sprint to a release version? Perhaps we can suggest an alternate solution.

[Japneet Chandhok]

It's just a matter of efficiency. Currently, we assign a Fix Version (release) to each ticket (ex. a user story). However, the way our team is moving, we have aligned our sprints to our release schedule, as we go out with fixes and enhancements roughly every 3 weeks. As such, every ticket in the sprint tends to be part of the same Release, and so I was wondering if there was a simpler way by assigning a sprint to a specific release/fix version, as opposed to having to go into each and every ticket within the sprint to assign it to the same release/fix version.

Thank you,

Japneet

You might be able to do something like add the Fix Version name to the Sprint description, and then have an Automation Rule that runs based on Sprint Completion, that parses out that data, finds the corresponding Fix Version, and sets the Fix Version for each completed issue in the Completed sprint.

Ok, thank you. I will look into the articles and resources on setting up automation rules.

Also, is it possible at all to set up a call with someone from support community, if we wanted to do a screen share to help explain something we're trying to do and need help/guidance with?

The community is not a paid support team. We all do this voluntarily.

There is not a general option to schedule time to meet live with community members. Help is generally provided asynchronously through the community posts. 

You can certainly ask responders if they are willing to meet with you. Or you can open a support case directly with Atlassian to ask for live help. Or you could consider engaging an Atlassian Solution Partner for ongoing direct support.
