How to create a version in Jira?

How do you use the JIRA version when your versions are similar to 4.8.{TFSBuild}.{TeamCity.Build} ?
Am I just creating version 4.8 in Jira?
However, what would I set the release date?

The problem is that our versions are dynamically created based on build # from tfs and Team City build #.
What is the best way to create versions in Jira now?
Major only. Minor is currently hard-coded, and for each bug fix we upload the release to a live server.

The Jira version is primarily a planning tool (especially if you use Greenhopper aka Agile, where you can have a version hierarchy). So it is different from assembly. A thousand builds may be required to achieve the functionality planned for the "FixFor" version.

Affects versions, on the other hand, are used for tracking in which a specific error was created. So it pays to rename the "current version" (when you mark it as "Released") to the actual build, as suggested by Hugo. And cleaning / closing / moving any unsolved problems at the same time.

I would suggest calling a future version that does not have a fixed name, but something like "Next Release."

When you really release this version, you can change the version name in Jira to display the correct name.

Using Jira for Project Management - Versioning

We use Jira to manage daily task assignments, and we like to have versions either weekly or monthly. This allows us to schedule work for a week and is very useful with connecting Greenhopper. Basically, you:

  • Open a project from Projects
  • On the left side, click on "Versions"

We have version 4.4, so there may be slightly different versions of Jira.
