Is there a way other than doing them manually in each project?

Hi Ben:

Unfortunately, Versions/Releases just like with Component/s mgmt is done at each project's level (project dependent) in Jira software.  

I personally have not use any 3rd party add-ons to manage cross project versions.  However, Advanced Roadmap for Jira does provide the concept of cross-projects releases, but it is only within the plan and not pushed back to Jira projects.  Here is the link reference - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/create-a-cross-project-release-in-advanced-roadmaps/

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph Chung Yin

Hi Joseph,

 

Is this functionality being developed to become available to users? My team has it's main project and a support queue project but we want stories on each to be tagged under the same fix version/release.

Welcome to the community.  As I mentioned above, you can only perform the action via Advanced Roadmap for Jira (it is a build in product for Jira Software).  I don't believe it is available for Jira Service Management in the Cloud.

What platform are you using Cloud or Data Center (on-prems)?  Please advise

Best, Joseph

If you or the person managing versions are comfortable with the command-line, you could use Bob Swift's CLI, which has an addVersion action that is as simple as:

acli --action addVersion --dateFormat "dd/mm/yyyy" --project PROJECT --version VERSION --description DESCRIPTION --startDate STARTDATE --date RELEASEDATE

So then, this could be made into a shell script that takes a set of variables (VERSION, DESCRIPTION, STARTDATE, RELEASEDATE) and plugs them in for all of your PROJECTs. (One call for each PROJECT.)

It's conceivable that this could be turned into some kind of web service as well, but then you'd have to deal with logins and authentication and bleh.

Oh, and I forgot to link to this great tutorial for adding multiple versions in bulk from a CSV file so that's another approach:

Hi @Ben Weisman ,

I would recommend third-party app Octo for managing cross-project versions.
