Add to fixVersion when issues is closed

Question

I'm trying to make an automation that does the following:

When and issue is closed

If the FixVersion is not empty

Then ADD TO the FixVersion with the next unreleased version

AND

If the FixVersion is empty

Then add to the FixVersion with the next unreleased version

All I can seem to do is clear and replace the field. I want to keep the original version, so I know when it was originally scheduled. I do have Scriptrunner

How about add fixVersions to the transition screen when you close the ticket?

Hi @April_Delay

Short version: you cannot do that without a work-around

Longer version:

JQL knows about Next Unreleased Version for queries, and rules know about that value for field edits, but the issue fields know nothing about other versions/releases: only their current values.

One work-around would be:

* save the current value of fixVersion in a created variable
* use edit to set the value of fixVersion to the Next unreleased version
* use the re-fetch action to reload the trigger issue
* and now edit the issue again, adding the saved values from the created variable using the JSON edit format

So I made this rule:

Hi Marc, this is close, but the problem is I want the issue to add a FixVersion when closed, even if it already has one.

So like... issue has FixVersion 1.1

It closes

Add FixVersion 1.2

New value is 1.1, 1.2
