Why earliestUnreleasedVersion() is always showing the same Version (not the earilest by date)

michalgrzeskowiak October 9, 2018

Hi,

i'm trying to setup a dashbord with next unreleased version (earliestUnreleasedVersion) and i'm using queruy: fixVersion = earliestUnreleasedVersion()

Even though i have few unreleased versions with different release dates, query always returns same version (not the earliest by release date).

How does fixVersion = earliestUnreleasedVersion() works then if it returns same version every time?

Hello @michalgrzeskowiak and welcome to Community!

This JQL function is a bit tricky, see the documentation:

Note, the "earliest" is determined by the ordering assigned to the versions, not by actual Version Due Dates.

So it's not based on the release date (as you could expect) but on the order in the Versions menu.

Hope this helps,

You can change that order in the Releases menu by drag-and-drop:

I'm afraid it's not working with drag&drop.
I've just did that and still have same version for that query, even though it's on the bottom.

Hmm that's weird, it is working on my side:

  • When Version 4.0 is below Version 5.0, Version 4.0 is the earliest unreleased version:

release-1.PNGjql-1.PNG

  • When Version 5.0 is below Version 4.0, Version 5.0 is the earliest unreleased version:

release-2.PNGjql-2.PNG

Are you on Cloud as well?

Ok, now it works - i thought earliest is on the top (like priority in the backlog).
Thank you -> solved :)
