Fix version release date, start date, status and count as Jira fields
Jira shows a version's release date on the Releases page, but you cannot search or sort work items by it. This Jira Cloud app keeps four read-only fields current on every work item so you can. Runs entirely inside Atlassian's infrastructure. No servers of ours, no analytics.
The four fields
| Field | Type | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Fix version release date | Date | Release date of the work item's fix version. With several fix versions: the earliest release date among unreleased versions; if none has a date or all are released, the latest release date among released versions |
| Fix version start date | Date | Earliest start date among the work item's fix versions |
| Fix version status | Text | none, unreleased, released or mixed (some fix versions released, some not) |
| Fix version count | Number | Number of fix versions on the work item |
What you can do with them
- Open work due to ship within 30 days, overdue included:
"Fix version release date" <= 30d AND statusCategory != Done. - Work in overdue releases:
"Fix version release date" < now() AND "Fix version status" = "unreleased". - Work assigned to several releases:
"Fix version count" > 1. - Sort any list by
"Fix version release date", across projects. - Add any of the four as columns in list views and saved filters, show them in dashboards, and include them in CSV exports.
How it works
- On install, existing work items are backfilled in pages, newest first, without any automation rule or rule-run quota.
- When a work item's fix versions change, or a version's dates or released state change, the affected work items update within seconds.
- A nightly job repairs work items updated in the last two days, in case an event was missed.
- Built on Atlassian Forge with no external egress.
Good to know
- Jira creates app fields once the site has at least one company-managed project (space). Add the fields to the screens or views where you want them.
- The text field matches exactly: write
"Fix version status" = "unreleased", not~. - Up to 5,000 work items are refreshed when a single version changes.
Pricing
