Make a copy of a fix version using automation

Ian Rees

Hi, I have created an automation to just create a copy of a fix version when a fix version is released.

My automation triggers on a Fix version being released and I use smart variables to create a new Fix Version name and I create that new fix version.    I am then using lookupissues to iterate through issues with the original fix version assigned to it, so that I can assign the new fix version to the same issues.  But I can't work out how to set the fix version field of the issues in the loop. Is there a way of doing this ?

Rees, Ian

Solution was as follows.  This triggers when a Fix Version is release and if the Fix Version Name does not start with "Prod", it creates a copy of the Fix Version with the Fix version name preceded by "PROD"  and sets the Fix Version name in all the Issues

When Version Released

Create variable varOriginalVersion and assign Smart value {{version.name}}

Create variable varOriginalVersionDescription and assign Smart value {{version.description.abbreviate(100)}}

Create variable  varVersionName and assign Smart value {{version.name.toLowerCase()}}

If block {{varVersionName}} 'does not match regular expression ^prod:.*

Then

    Create variable varProdFixVersionName and assign Smart value PROD:{{version.name}}

    Create variable varNewFixVersionDescription and assign Smart value 'Production release for  FixVersion {{version.name}}'

    Create version {{varProdFixVersionName}} and set Version description to {{arNewFixVersionDescription}}

    Branch rule: For JQL fixversion='{{varOriginalVersion}}'

        Edit Issue and set Fix versions to {{varProdFixVersionName}} {{varOriginalVersion}}
