Is is possible to have the release notes use another version field?

Question

The current behavior in JIRA is to create the release notes based on the fix version.

In our JIRA data model we have defined another version picker field called Target version (used to identify the branch on which the issue will be fixed).

Is there a way to have the release notes use this field instead of the native fix version?

Best would be to be able to produce the release note either on fix or target version.

Regards,

Gael

PDF View Plugin for JIRA can generate a Release Notes document from any JQL query.

That means you can use a "version = 1.2.3" (built-in field) or "MyCustomVersionField = 1.2.3" (custom version picker) JQL condition to get the two lists of issues, and transform those to PDF to implement your two use cases.
