How to track version releases in Jira?

Jason Chayer

I need a way to track releases in Jira Server across multiple projects. For example, I have a version release in one project, but in the future I need to be able to search to see what the previous release version was so I know what the next will be. And the next release may be in another project. Is there a way to do this in Jira Server, or Git?

Hi @Jason Chayer 

Unfortunately versions are only available for one project natively in Jira Software Server / Datacenter, the project in which the version is created. The release hub helps you to follow and release versions within a project.

In order to be able to use cross-project release, you need to install an Atlassian app called Advanced Roadmap, which is not free in Server version, but native in Data Center version. 

Here is the doc about cross project releases and versions:

I hope this helps a bit. 

Cheers,
