Automation for Jira - Copy Fix Version - Not Working

Albert Manuel

Hi there,

I have a strange case:

I have two projects, project A and project B. Project A has linked issues from project B.

 

When a fix version is added to project A, I want them to be updated in project B also, but for some reason is not working although the rule audit, says successfully - no value is added to the fix version.

 

This are two screenshots from my simple rule:

 

What i have observed, is that if i create manually the fix versions with the same name in project B, it works, but without them, is not.

 

Is there any way, in automation to copy the fix version from another project if the fix version is not existing on the project to be copied on?

 

Thanks

You can't do this.  

The reason is that a version is a project object, and can't be applied to issues outside the project it belongs to.

Even if you have a project which has a version with an identical name, description, dates and status, etc, identical to a version in another project, they are two different things from two different projects.

Automation can't break those rules, and I'm not sure it can do anything for "find similar version in target project and apply that"
