Release a version with REST API

Question

Hi,

I want to know if is it possible to release a version in Jira ?

How can I do this using Rest API ?

I've already read this : https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-release-a-version-using-REST-api/qaq-p/563559

But have there been any update?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi, i believe that you can do that by simply updating the version

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.5.4/#api/2/version-updateVersion

That would leave any issues though. Previously there was a way to move them as well as seen for example here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Rest-Api-Release-version-in-Jira-and-move-all-unresolved-issues/qaq-p/512870

But i am not sure if that function still works.
