What's the best approach when rolling back a version in Jira?

Connor Skiro November 21, 2023

I'm currently automating our release management workflow in Jira and have successfully mapped out the process for when a release is completed. 

However, given that Jira's releases only allow you to mark a Fix Version as:

  1. Unreleased
  2. Released
  3. Archived

Given the constraints, it seems like archiving a release that rolls back seems pragmatic but I'm curious, what are other folks doing to capture rolled back releases?

Hi @Connor Skiro 

I think it depends on the next action after the roll-back.

If the release is rolled back, and a new release is setup to replace it, I'd go with archiving.

If however the release is rolled back, and a bug is raised (assuming there's a reason for the roll-back), I'd consider putting it back to Unreleased - to show that post-fix, it'll be re-released.
