How to create cross-project releases

[David Thomas]

I have multiple projects feeding into  mobile app release, with various feature delivery teams working on their own projects. At the moment I create releases in one overall project to capture defect found in testing etc. This is more and more proving difficult as users need to raise bugs in their own projects as well. I believe it's possible to create cross-project releases but I can't see the option anywhere to actually do it?? Is there a separate plug in I need or something or does this feature come as standard? Thanks

Hi @David Thomas 

unfortunately, it's not possible to create cross-project releases in Jira out of the box. The only solution, for now, is to maintain versions manually in multiple projects or use a Jira app to do this for you.

I wrote a post about this topic a few months back, you can have a look here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-to-share-releases-between-projects-with-Cross-project/ba-p/1354688

I hope this helps :)

Hi @David Thomas 

There is no feature to create CPR unless you use an app or Advanced Roadmaps.

However with some automation you can achieve few things like creating a release in another project with same name and release date. Take a look at this rule below to get some ideas.

I hope it helps.
