Hi @Pavan ,

Can you maybe share a screenshot of what you mean by "...options coming as blank..."?

Also, release notes, as far as I know, are not customizable > meaning you cannot customize the template itself, but you can edit the page before publishing.
There are a couple of feature requests on that topic - this one might be the most relevant: JRACLOUD-87128: Allow users to customize version summary page, add fields

Cheers,
Tobi

Hey @Pavan welcome to the Community 👋

If using a third-party app is an option for you, I'd recommend trying AutoPage for this purpose.

With AutoPage, you can:

* Automatically generate Confluence pages directly from Jira tickets

* Populate these release notes with predefined fields (including summaries)

Let me know if you'd like more details about setting this up!

Hi @Pavan

As @Tomislav Tobijas pointed out, the out-of-the-box release notes functionality of Jira is rather limited. If you want more control over the templates, and have AI write the release notes for you, take a look at Released in the Atlassian Marketplace.

Hope this helps,
Jens
