Automation for Cloning (copying) a fixversion from one project to another?

Misty Meyers_iadc6g

Is it possible to "clone" or copy a fixVersion (release) from one project to another?  My team has multiple projects for Development, but we maintain a single Jira project for all the testing.  I was hoping there was a way, that when a new fixVersion (release) is added to one, the same would be "copied" and created to the Test project.  We don't need all the related work, just the mere fixVersion.

example:

Project A creates anew release: ios release xyz, then automation creates on the QA Project a release with that same name

I'm thinking it's not possible, but hoping!!

Thank you!

Hi @Misty Meyers,

I actually found a slight hack to make this work. My automation rule looks like this:

The hack relates to the for JQL branch that is needed with the Version created trigger of the rule. In order to use the version smart values to create a new version, you need to provide a list of issues in order to proceed.

There is an issues in version branch available, but on a version created trigger there are no issues. So I used the JQL branch to enable actions, but since you want to create the version only once, you should ensure you only return 1 issue. Hence, I defined a filter that only returns one issue (always). If your JQL branch returns more issues, you'll notice some errors in your audit log as the rule would try to create several versions with the same name.

Hope this helps!
