GreenHopper enables you to create and release a new JIRA version from the far-right column (usually named 'Done') on either the Task Board or the Rapid Board, in a single step.

This is useful for creating an ad-hoc release whenever your 'Done' column contains enough value to warrant it, whereas the procedure for Adding a Version typically applies to a release that has been scheduled in advance.

For a version that has been scheduled in advance, you will need to release the version from the Planning Board.

 

Before you begin

You will need to have the JIRA 'Project Administrator' permission in the project(s) whose issues are to be included in the version.

Creating and Releasing a Version from the Task Board

To create and release a new Version from the Task Board,

  1. Log into JIRA.
  2. Select Agile > Classic in the top navigation bar. Then select Classic Task Board from the drop-down below the project name.
  3. From the 'Views' menu, select 'Compact (Kanban)'.
  4. In the 'Done' column, click the icon (which will appear at the top right of the column when you hover over it).
  5. Select 'Release' from the drop-down menu. The 'Release Done from <Version>' window will display (see screenshot below). Complete the fields as follows:
    • 'Version name' — Enter a short name for your new version. For details, see the JIRA documentation on Adding a Version.
    • 'Start date' (optional) — Enter the start date for your new version. This will default to the date of the first transition of a card presently in the 'Done' column.
    • 'End date' (optional) — Enter the end date for your new version. This will default to today's date.
    • 'Release date' (optional) — Enter the date of release for your new version. This will default to today's date.
    • 'Description' (optional) — Enter a longer description for your new version. For details, see the JIRA documentation on Adding a Version.
