I'm not a native English speaker.
Does the word, Affects Version, sound fine to you?
It should have been 'Affected Version' instead?
There is even 'Fix Version' not 'Fixes Version'.
Native speaker. I can't quite phrase why, but it does sound correct to me. I'll give it a stab though...
I figure it is always present-tense. When you fix the issue (assuming bug for this example) you will have a new version, so the old version will always have that bug. The Fix Version is the version you created that resolved the issue.
It would be different if it was more generic around things like applications without versions involved -- e.g. Affected "JIRA" would be context-sensitive: was it affecting the application but has now been resolved, or is it still open & therefore Affects the application.
In my view when you talk about versions you always are talking present tense because the version is the subject.
Hope that view helps; gave me a good early morning stretch for my brain :)
