When I have a bunch of issues in Resolved, and want to issue a release, my workflow is as follows:
- On a Kanban RapidBoard that I have set up for release management, press the "Release" button and enter a release name.
- Navigate to the project page, then the versions section, then the newest version, then the release notes section
- Copy the release notes into my email client, and send a message to my internal release announcement list with that as the body.
- Navigate to the filters screen, and open up a saved filter for all Resolved issues in my project
- Bulk transition all the issues in that filter to Closed.
This is a bunch of steps, which seem like they could be at least partially automated (at the least, having the Release button close the issues in that version). Any suggestions to have Jira do some number of these steps for me?
