Control which users can set which "Fix versions" values.

We use "Fix version" to define a project.

We want to prohibit our Support staff from setting "Fix versions" on tickets to certain versions. Otherwise, anybody on the team can just make those specific projects grow and grow. There's a slowly growing list of "Fix versions" we would want Support staff to be able to set. And a growing list of "Fix versions" for them not to be allowed to set.

I don't mind maintaining a list of "for this group, only let them set 'Fix version' to the following values". That's okay with me, but I don't know if Jira can do that.

We'd want to have a few types of user roles, each with different "Fix version" modification privileges.

Product managers should be able to set any "Fix version" on a ticket.

Programmers won't change "Fix version" at all. (Theoretically.)

Note: The reason we don't want to just prohibit modification of "Fix versions" by anyone but product managers is that we want anyone writing a ticket to be able to set it to some "Fix versions" which we use for classification. For example, we have a "Fix version" for every request from a customer for a certain new feature. That way the requests are all together in one "Fix version" for future easy access.

Is there a way to accomplish this in Jira Software Cloud?

Hi Eiren,

Unfortunately, Jira (Cloud and Server) does not support this functionality. For example, you can look at add-on Version Manager for Jira Cloud, but it does not know everything things you need.
