I encounter a limitation in Cross Project Releases in Jira Plan (advanced Roadmaps).

In a single project we have more than 1 component with its own releases (fix versions).

For a Cross Project Release it is only possible to select only 1 release from a Project in a cross project release. 

This limitations makes Cross Project Releases useless for us.  

Is there a way to have more release (fix versions) from one project into one cross project release, other than splitting projects with only one fix version per project as that is not how it should and cannot work.

Hi @jeroen_wilmes

Trust you are well.

Just looked over some of your community posts / comments to the posts about the topic - Cross Project Releases. Yeah, this topic is not yet properly covered by Advanced Roadmaps and as far as I see there's not much investment planned on this specific item.

I understand a concern with 3rd party apps but we actually have a number of successful cases when clients are using Roadmaps alongside our Release Management App to give different perspectives of "what needs to be done?" and "when this will be done?".

We have a notion of pure Cross-Project Release - aka single FixVersion span multiple projects

.. but we also have a notion of a Package that is a collection of versions from multiple projects or multiple versions from a single project or the combination of the two.

So, might be worth trying out?

 

Many thanks & Kind regards,

Yuri.

I would suggest everyone who is facing the same problem to have look at and vote for:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20462 (2020)

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-23007 (2022)

Jira classified it as a "suggestion", and since 2022 nothing happened with something that to me is a serious shortcoming of the integration of Advanced Roadmaps into Jira.

Hi @jeroen_wilmes 

No tis is indeed not an option, but an understandable option as well.

As this doesn't classify as a cross project releases, as both releases are in the same project

Within plans this is not possible.

I see you have asked the same question before, releases-in-cross-projects-releases-in-Advanced-Roadmaps , the suggestion of using Compass or a 3rd party app might still suite your needs.

Using 3rd party apps is not a preferred solution for flows in Jira. It is adding up as I have more problems with the integration of Roadmaps into Jira Premium, We are reaching the point to ask ourselves if it is stil worth the amount of money we have to pay for Jira Premium versus considering a more advanced workflowmanagement tool.
