How can I modify the release notes to display all issues with AffectsVersion set?

Chris Johnston_zbi0y1

I would like to modify the velocity template for releasenotes so that it also displays a section which queries all issues with AffectsVersion, just like it currently does with FixVersion.

Is there a way to modify the existing velocity files for release notes to perform an additional JQL query and then iterate over those results?

Hello @Chris Johnston

Creating a custom release notes template is pretty well documented.

Have you gone through the docs

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/creating-release-notes-938847219.html

In the template you can call the method getAffectsVersion of the issue object and that should do what you want.

I've been through the docs and they do not explain how to modify the scope of $issues that are passed into release notes. They only show you how to get information about the $issues ... with the assumption that all of the issue data is based on a fixVersion = X.

GetAffectsVersion does not work. This is because the $issue objects in the template are where fixVersion = 1.0 (for example). For known issues, the Affects Version = 1.0 but the fixVersion does not.

"For known issues, the Affects Version = 1.0 but the fixVersion does not."

So you mean you want to show issues which have the affectsVersion but empty fixVersion (one possibility)

I am not sure if this case will be supported in release notes as the whole concept of release notes is built around the fixVersion.
