JIRA Fix Version update of JA Release - Bug or Feature

Darren Williams_7whjjs

Hi Community

We are sync'ing JIRA Fix Version with JA Releases and have noticed that when you assign a Fix Version to an Epic JA updates the JA Release as expected. However if our planning changes and the Fix Version is removed, JA will not remove the JIRA Epic from the JA Release. If I do update the Fix Version to an alternate release period the JA Release is updated, see logs below.

Ideally we'd expect that when Fix Version is removed the JIRA Epic/Story it is also removed from the JA Release

Is this a feature of a bug?

Hi Darren,

Thank you for the submission!

We cover the sync of Jira Fix Versions and Jira Align Release Vehicles in our Jira Data Sync article which can be found here:

https://agilecrafthelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000088393-10X-Jira-Data-Synchronization

Please take note of the screenshot from the article that the Jira Align to Jira Sync will add new Fix Versions to issues in Jira, but it will not remove them.

The logs provided in this submission show that a work item was created in Jira Align by the Jira Integration with an associated release vehicle. In the subsequent log entries the release vehicle was removed by the Jira Integration 15 minutes later than a new release vehicle was added 15 minutes after that on a subsequent sync of data.

This functionality matches my experience in our test environment where the Jira to Jira Align sync can add and remove release vehicles from work items in Jira Align.

Thank you for the response.

Note we are only pulling from JIRA, JA does not have write access to JIRA

This is the log of greatest interest

Where the JIRA Fix Version is removed. What we are interested in is, if the JIRA Fix Version is removed should the JIRA Align Release be automatically removed by the sync? As per this log there is no change in JA

Thanks

Hi Darren,

Thank you for the update and the clarification.

I can now see you were referencing the Jira Align Release not being nulled out along with the Release Vehicle,

Our customers utilize Program Increment and Release interchangeably along with Release Vehicle and Release interchangeably.

I believe Jira Align has always functioned in the manner where nulling out a Fix Version in Jira will remove the Release Vehicle in Jira Align, but not the Release (Program Increment).

I will validate this logic with our engineering team and let you know my findings. The best practice will most likely be manually nulling out the Release (Program Increment) in Jira Align.

Thank you!

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your patience.

I have validated the historic logic on what happens to a Jira Align Release (Program Increment) when removing the Jira Fix Version on the corresponding Jira Issue. The Product has always functioned in the manner where removal of the Fix Version in Jira does not assign the Jira Align work item to the Unassigned Backlog.

I checked with our product team and their guidance is that this functionality is currently working as originally designed and expected at this time. Jira Align will continue to review what fields sync between Jira and Jira Align and how they sync between the applications as our integration continues to mature.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions at this time.

Thank you!
