JIRA CLI Syntax - Bulk Version Release

Brian Hourigan

I'm currently working on a JIRA migration, , and one of the issues I came across was that after importing my issues into the new instance, all my previous Versions were showing as Unreleased.

I'm attempting to use JIRA CLI to fix this issue, and my goal is to bulk set all of my Versions to "Released".  I was attempting to use a wildcard character like an asterisk, but the syntax does not seem to recognize that.

Here is the command I was trying to use:

./jira.sh --action releaseVersion --project "Radnor" --dateFormat "dd/MMM/yyyy" --description "Bulk release for JIRA Migration" --version "*"

However, I just get an error that says  "Client error: '*' is not a version for project RAD."

Any insight on how I can apply this command to all my Versions?

Hi @Brian Hourigan - The version parameter doesn't accept matching arguments such as "*".  The way to approach this is to use runFromVersionList to release the versions from the list.

Example:

--action runFromVersionList --project "ZJIRACLIRUNNER" --common "-a releaseVersion --project ZJIRACLIRUNNER --version \\"@version@\\"" --continue
