Release Picker for Jira
Pick a release from another project, right on the work item.
Jira’s Fix versions field only offers releases from the work item’s own project. Release Picker adds a custom field that offers releases from the projects you choose, so change requests, shared platform work and release trains can point at the release they really belong to:
- Releases from other projects. For each field context, choose the projects to offer (or every project, up to 50) and whether to include the work item’s own project.
- One or many. Allow a single release or up to 20 per work item. Choose whether released and archived versions are offered, and sort by release date or by name.
- Clear to read. The field shows each release as a link with its project, a status lozenge (Unreleased, Released, Archived) and the release date. Lists, exports and notifications show the release names.
- Searchable in JQL. Find work by release name,
project or id, for example
"Target release.Release" = "Platform 4.2"or"Target release.ReleaseProject" = PLAT. - Checked by Jira. Jira itself rejects a value from a project the field does not offer, or more releases than allowed, on every edit and create screen.
Works in Jira Software, Jira Work Management and Jira Service Management, including the customer portal. Versions load as the person using the field, so people only see releases in projects they can browse. Nothing is stored by the app beyond the field value, and it runs on Atlassian Forge with no external calls.
