Is there a way to associate Project Versions with Issues?

[Brandon Tipton]

We manage several projects/applications with different versions that can be in progress at any given time. Is there a way to associate Issues/Tasks with a version within a project? We need to report on and view tasks for each version within a project. 

Currently, the only solution we have is to create a Project for each version,but this requires additional management and overhead.

Hi @Brandon Tipton 

Are you referring to cross project versioning in Jira?

If so, this can only be done with a 3rd party app.

Versions exist in a single Jira project, if versions are used in a project, the fields Fix Version or Affected version can be used to tie a version to an issue.

I'm talking about using JSM to assign a version to our Issues and Tasks. We're trying to implement JSM, not Jira software, and utilize projects. Example: I have Software App with version 1 and version 2. I'd like the ability to associate a task with version 1 or move to version 2 if we decide to re-version.

Hi @Brandon Tipton 

Best practice would be to create custom field.

In this case I would suggest a multi select field, as that would give you the option to links multiple values.

If this is not to your fit, then use a single select or cascading select field type
