Kickstart each new project with a set of predefined versions. Project Templates for Jira allows to automatically create versions with every created project. To do that admins can either specify a ‘Version source project’ to clone existing versions from, or predefine a set of new custom versions.
Click either on ‘2. Configure template settings and predefine components/versions/issues' in the dialog or on the settings icon in under Actions.
In the template settings modal, click on the tab ‘Versions’
Clone existing version
After project creation, the app will clone all versions from the specified ‘Version source project’ to the newly created project.
Edit the version source project
Click on the ‘edit icon’
Select the project you want to use as ‘Version source project’
Click on ‘Save’
Notes:
Archived versions are ignored and will not be cloned to the new project.
New custom templates will add the source project as component, versions & project role actors source project automatically.
You can click on the ‘trash icon’ to delete the version source project to avoid cloning versions.
Predefine new versions
Click on ‘Predefine custom version’
