Sync releases between two project instance

Garret Zhang

Hi, I have a question on if it is possible to sync between the releases from two JIRA project instance with "version update" automation

Example:

Project A fix version - 1, 2, 3, 4

Project B fix version - 1, 2, 3, 4

If I change project B fix version to 1, 2, 3, 5

I want to see project A fix version to 1, 2, 3, 5

Thanks,

Garret

Hi @Garret Zhang 

You can use Jira's built-in automation to sync the fix versions between two projects. Here's how to set up an automation rule to achieve this:

• Go to your Jira instance and click on the gear icon (Settings) in the top-right corner.
• Click on "System" in the left sidebar, then click on "Automation rules" under the "Automation" section.
• Click on "Create rule" to start a new automation rule.
• Select the "Scheduled" trigger to run the rule periodically (e. g. , every hour) to check for changes in fix versions.
• Add a "Lookup issues" action to find all issues in Project B that have a different fix version compared to their counterparts in Project A. You can use a JQL query like this:

 

project = "Project B" AND fixVersion ! = "1, 2, 3, 4"

• Add a "For each" action to loop through each issue found by the "Lookup issues" action.
• Within the "For each" action, add an "Edit issue" action to update the fix version in Project A with the new fix version from Project B. You can use the "Fields" section in the "Edit issue" action to specify which fields to update.
• Save and enable the automation rule.

This automation rule will periodically check for changes in fix versions in Project B and update the corresponding issues in Project A. Please note that this approach may not be real-time and will depend on the frequency of the "Scheduled" trigger.

Hope this helps you
