Release Notes Customization

[Pavan]

Hello - Planning to use the Release Notes option available with in Jira to generate a Release Notes but when i generate in Confluence at the bottom below options coming as blank

Summary

New Features

Improvements to existing features

Bug Fixes

Question: Is there a way above fields can be added in Jira any where, so that it will be written at the time of creating a Fix Version/Release?

Hi @Pavan

As @Tomislav Tobijas pointed out, the out-of-the-box release notes functionality of Jira is rather limited. If you want more control over the templates, and have AI write the release notes for you, take a look at Released in the Atlassian Marketplace. 

Hope this helps,
Jens

Hey @Pavan welcome to the Community 👋

If using a third-party app is an option for you, I'd recommend trying AutoPage for this purpose.

With AutoPage, you can:

• Automatically generate Confluence pages directly from Jira tickets

• Populate these release notes with predefined fields (including summaries)

Let me know if you'd like more details about setting this up!

hope this helps!

Hi @Pavan ,

Can you maybe share a screenshot of what you mean by "...options coming as blank..."?

Also, release notes, as far as I know, are not customizable > meaning you cannot customize the template itself, but you can edit the page before publishing.
There are a couple of feature requests on that topic - this one might be the most relevant: JRACLOUD-87128: Allow users to customize version summary page, add fields 

Cheers,
Tobi

thank you for your time.

I mean, instead of updating Summary, New Features, Bug fixes details in confluence and publish, is there a way we can have this written at the time of creating Release/Fix Version?

@Pavan:  No, those 'sections' have to be manually populated.  Really pathetic 'feature'.  And it was recently added too.
