Update Fix versions in tickets automatically when merging a PR
Hi all,
I’m trying to automate a step in our workflow and could use some help.
The problem:
Whenever we merge a PR that fixes a Jira issue, the Fix Versions field has to be updated manually for each ticket. This step is often forgotten, and it leads to inconsistent data in Jira.
What I want to do:
Have Jira automatically populate Fix Versions when a linked PR is merged in GitHub, based on predefined rules — the best option I found so far is using a label assigned to the PR. This also helps us enforce some repository rules to ensure that if the fix versions label is not set, the PR can't be merged.
What I want to do:
Have Jira automatically populate Fix Versions when a linked PR is merged in GitHub, based on predefined rules — for example: release branch name, tag, label, or a configured mapping.
Why:
Removes the chance of human error
Keeps Jira data accurate and consistent
Saves time by eliminating repetitive manual work
I’ll share my current automation attempt below. Any guidance, examples, or pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
