How do you set a release for all new issues?

[Patrick Horne]

I'm generating new issues from the email handler, but I want them to all be automatically assigned a specific release when they are created. This may not be that hard to do, but I can't find where to do it. I've check the workflows, which is where I thought it would be, but none of the post-functions allow that kind of function.

It seems JIRA Extendable Mail Handler plugin can fulfill your requirement. You can create issues in JIRA by email and all standard JIRA fields (i.e. Fix Versions) can be set during creation.

However, if you want to be assigned automatically, your request has been filed by another user before this and it has been set to 'Won't Fix':

• Auto update Fix Versions for new issues

You can write your own fucntion. or JIRA Suite utilities may be of some help.

You can write a post function to update any type of field. That should help.

[Patrick Horne]

That's what I thought, but none of the post functions listed allow me to update the Fix Version field.

I also have Script Runner installed, but none of the baseline scripts it comes with make that change either and I don't know enough to write my own script.

You may set it as the default value for the custom field in the post function of create step.

[Patrick Horne]

Nope. Didn't work. Can't set defaults that way. :(

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the field that needs to be updated is the "Fix Version/s" and that field is not a custom field so it's not in that list to update in the post-function list.

However, I guess I could create a custom field configuration for this project, and then set the default for Fix Version/s to be the release I want. I'll have to try that.
