Issue with linking Test Plans in the Test Coverage section of a Story changes all other stories

[Kim Richards]

Hello,

My company is using Jira Enterprise with Xray and I assume something is not configured correctly but I cannot seem to figure out what it is.  I thought it might be a setting in Requirement Coverage Strategy but that didn't fix it.

My issue is that every time I link a new Test Plan to a story in the Test Coverage area it changes all other stories with linked Test Plans to this new Test Plan. For example: I have Test Plan 1 linked to Story A through the Test Coverage area.  Then I create a new Test Plan called Test Plan 2 for Story B. When I link it in the Test Coverage section on Story B, Story A's Test Plan changes from Test Plan 1 to Test Plan 2 along with ever other Story with a linked Test Plan.

I hope this makes sense.  I worked in Jira with Xray at a previous company and never had an issue linking Test Plans to Stories.

Hi @Kim Richards 

Ensure that the link type used to connect the Test Plan to the Story is distinct for each story. This guarantees that the link is specific to that story and doesn't inadvertently impact others, and also Verify that Test Plans are being linked specifically at the story level. Ensure that they are not being globally applied across all stories in a version or component. Check if Test Plans are associated with Versions or Components, which might be affecting all stories within those categories. Adjust the association strategy as needed to ensure accurate linking.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
