Is it possible to automate the creation of a fix version and assign it to tickets upon deployment?

My team uses Kanban.

We usually deploy once per day, sometimes more.

Is it possible to automate the creation of a Jira fix version and then automatically assign the tickets which are being deployed/have just been deployed with that fix version?

Our thoughts were the fix version should contain the date of deployment plus the number of the deployment for that day. For example 2020-06-22-1 would indicate the first deployment of the day.

Hi @Kara Nadarajah 

Depending on your pipeline, the answer is probably yes.

If you don't have an automated pipeline, you could run a scheduled rule once per day (or run it manually), look for new "done" things, create a version, and then assign the items to the version.

 

If you are using something like GitHub, you can use a webhook to feed back to JIRA and then use the list of items to associate to your new version.  See here for details:

Here is more rule automation info to help with this area:
