how do I automatically add approvers to Release versions

[Scott Black]

I am looking to automatically add approvers to the release version every time it is created but am struggling through automation.

Has anyone managed this or does the functionality not exist?

Hi @Scott Black and welcome!

As far as I know, you can't do this with automation right now. The only available actions regarding release versions are "Create version", "Release version" and "Unrelease version".

The actions may be extended in the future, but as of now they are limited to the actions mentioned.

Hi @Scott Black ,

Could you please explain your requirement in detail through the example..?

It will better to investigate the answer properly.

Hey Sanjen,

Of Course - I am looking for teams to create Release Versions within Jira cloud every time they are planning to release. As part of this I can see that when created there is an approver field within the version. I can manually add in an approver but would like a list of approvers to be automatically added whenever a release version is created.

I am also looking for the info to add approvers and send an email to them to approve the release.

I would also love to be able to do this.

I have this exact need as well. Also, when I do add approvers, there doesn't seem to be any email notification to the approver that the release is ready for them to take action. Am I missing something? Anyone know how to set up notifications for when someone is added as a reviewer for a release?
