How to create JIRA releases automatically?

Question

Hi all

I'm setting up a development workflow, and I am looking for some help in automating it.

How to generate JIRA releases automatically, triggered by transition? The version system I have in mind is variation of semantic versioning: Major Version (manually selected) . No of completed Epics + Stories . Number of closed prodlogs

Are there any good reference materials? Or is it even possible now?

Wait, at this point I must note that we are using JIRA Cloud.

Thanks for the suggestion. our company already has JMWE, could it be used for my purpose?

I'm very new to JIRA and all of it's add-ons, could you recommend a very basic tutorial of some sort, as scriptrunner appears to be lacking one?

Yes, it should be simple with scriptrunner or a similar tool.

There's an interface called VersionManager implemeted by the class DefaultVersionManager

You can obtain a reference from the ComponentAccessor directly and to the work:
