Add Jira Release fields to a Dashboard

Question

I am creating a dashboard and I've tried to include specific release fields (Released Date) in the Issue List. When I search for the released date (Release date in the image below) it is not appearing to select it.

Also I've tried to create a JQL to show those issues with based on the release/version status and I can't find how to

Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Hello @Cristóbal González

Unfortunately Release Date, release description etc are set of fields not accessible by native JQL. You can query date using third parrt add-ons, but they still wont help you with dashboards, For that you need another add-on.

To summarize:

* native functionality, JQL - you cannot access release date, dashboards - you cannot show.
* Using script runner add-on for example, you can access release date in JQL but it cannot help you display in dashboard.
* Using *some other * add-on, you can show them on dashboards.

You can create an issue type like Version Details in your project.

The create screen of your new issue type will contain the same fields as when creating a new Version(Name, start date, release date ...)

On creation of this issue type you should have a script automatically creating a new version.

This way now you have all properties available to use with JQL.

Another advantage is that you can add extra properties (custom fields) in this issue type that otherwise are not available in the of the shelf Jira Version table.

This solution can be extended to use the same version across multiple projects.

In this case you should create the Version Details issue type in a separate Global Properties project and have a multi select custom field in the Version Details issue that will specify for which projects it is going to apply.

In both cases you need to validate that only one Version Details containing a field with the same version name can be created.

In conjunction with this you can use an app that our company developed CIFJ - Versions Dasjboard for Jira, to give you an overall view of the versions that exist in your organisation.
