Overview

Kickstart each new project with a set of predefined or cloned versions.

Project & Issue Templates for Jira allows to automatically create versions with every created project/target 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.

  1. Click either on ‘2. Configure template settings and predefine components/versions/issues' in the dialog or on the settings icon in under Actions.

  1. 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/target project.

Edit the version source project

  1. Click on the ‘edit icon’

  2. Select the project you want to use as ‘Version source project’

  1. 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.

A refreshable counter will display the current amount of versions that will be cloned from the source project.

Predefine new versions

  1. Click on ‘Predefine custom version’

  1. Specify the new version

  • Start date options:

    • None

    • Fixed date

    • Relative date
      (Number of days after project creation)

  • Release date options:

    • None

    • Fixed date

    • Relative date
      (Number of days after project creation)

  1. Click ‘Create’ to add a new predefined version to the project template settings.

  2. The predefined version will appear now in the template settings and can be either ‘Edited’ or ‘Deleted’
    (Editing or deleting predefined versions, does not affect already created versions in existing projects.)

    It is now possible to clone predefined version. Making it easier to specify all the version you need without starting form scratch each time.
