How to set trigger for recently released versions?

Hi,

I have a use case where sometimes a released version AND an unreleased fixVersion is set on an issue.
When that unreleased version is released (in the release hub) a sync must be performed by using a trigger.

So, in this example (when having a released version AND an unreleased fixVersion):
when I release the (unreleased) version AND setting the date to (for example) today, then I see the corresponding issue in the Issue Navigator when using the following JQL

fixVersion in releaseDate("after startOfDay(-1d) before 10d")

→ releaseDate is determined by using ScriptRunner

However, when using this JQL in a Trigger, then there’s no sync happening. I still have to edit the issue in order to perform the sync.

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem? Is there another way to sync issues by a trigger when a release is set?

There is no sync happening because the replica before and after the event is identical.
By adding following code snippet - you force a change on the replica, which leads to a sync

replica.customKeys.foo = new Date()

An alternative is to be more specific

// test if there is at least one fix version which is released
replica.customKeys.isreleased = 
                   (issue.fixVersions.find { it.released } != null)

Bonus

Have a look at this TriggerSync external script
With ScriptRunner you can capture the version event - and then call the external script to touch all related issues without modification

Hi Peter Hochstrasser, No. Currently I’m using the following outgoing sync rule:

replica.fixVersions = issue.fixVersions.findAll{it.released}

For the incoming sync I’m using

issue.customFields.“Patch version”.value = replica.fixVersions?.collect{it.name}.join(“,”)

So it only syncs released versions. In some cases users want to set an unreleased Fixversion, just to show that a version is planned for a specific issue.

When the release is actually done, I want to (auto)sync the issue.

Hi Berry Kersten

Do you synchronize the versions separately?

If so, you could implement the solution in the receiving JIRA project, if needed at all.
