How do I create cross-project release/version in Jira?

[Charlemagne Vicente]

I'm trying to do the above. On the Jira help resource, the initial steps are as shown below. However, I cant find where "plan" is in the "plan > Releasese > + Create release" mentioned in Step 1 below

Anyone has experience with this?

Have you got Portfolio installed and licenced?

[Charlemagne Vicente]

No we don't. Sounds without Portfolio, this is not possible, is that correct?

Thanks, I appreciate the response!

Correct.  Plain Jira considers versions to be completely project objects.   A version in one project has nothing to do with one in another, even if the name is identical.  Portfolio layers some linkage and commonality across those.
