Whether Mercury’s ROVO/Jira instance supports a native executable action for: create release notes

Question

* Whether Mercury’s ROVO/Jira instance supports a native executable action for:

* create release notes in Jira
* save release notes
* attache/save the generated note under Related Work for a release

* In that ticket, included the following:

* the current agent skill screenshot
* the release-notes UI screenshots from your earlier testing
* the exact gap: “agent can validate and search, but cannot execute the Jira release-note creation flow”

* Below is the link to the ROVO Agent

Hi @Santanu Roy

To add to Arek's and Valeri's answers: the release notes option on a version's page is a UI action, and I haven't seen it exposed as something a Rovo agent can execute. If you need it hands-free, the closest native route is an Automation rule on the Version released trigger: a Lookup work items step with fixVersion = {{version.id}}, a Rovo agent step to draft the text from {{lookupIssues}}, then an action that writes the result where you need it (a Confluence page, a comment or a Slack message). As far as I know, linking it under Related work is still a manual step.

If the main goal is simply good release notes for each version without building that plumbing, you could try Release Notes AI. You pick a release inside the project and click Generate. It reads every work item in the version, with no 20-item limit, and saves the notes against that release, so you can edit them, come back to them later or copy them wherever they need to go.

Full disclosure, I'm the app creator so I'm obviously biased.

Hope that helps!

Kind Regards,

Rhys

@Santanu Roy welcome to the community. Jira does support Create with Rovo from the Releases page, and saved release notes can appear under Related work. But I don’t see a documented native Rovo Agent skill that executes that full release-note workflow autonomously. The built-in Release Notes Drafter drafts notes; for agent-driven execution, you’d likely need Automation/Forge/API support rather than instructions alone.

Hello and welcome to Atlassian community @Santanu Roy

That's supported but not the way you think.
