Closed JIRA -> Update Fix Version

Chris Mylonas April 23, 2012

Cannot edit closed JIRAs to update the Fix Version.

Can it be done through the database to update a field or two with an SQL query?

I think you'd be far safer either

1. Reopening the issue, fixing and closing

2. Creating a temp workflow transition to reopen it to resolved, fix and close

Not sure if you already do this, but I recommend NOT closing issues until the version is done and dusted (possibly even archived etc..) Then bulk close, that way you get a chance to do some cleanup like you are doing

Thank you Renjith. I have the default workflow - because my JIRA installation is only small (for me) I will just adjust my "Issue Closing" habits for now rather than learn more of the workflow stuff - it looks like a worthy part to explore when I have more time :)

Cheers

However, if you DO want to mark it in the database the table is jiraissue and the column is fixfor
