How do I clear out the "Fix Version/s" value when moving issues back to Backlog?

Daniel McRae April 19, 2019

I'm configuring my project workflow and have figured out how to clear out the Assignee value when an issue is moved back to Backlog by adding a post function to the "Backlog" transition (Update Issue Field - Issue Field: Assignee; Field Value: Unassigned). However, I don't see how to do the same for the "Fix Version/s" value (it's not in the Issue Field drop-down).

What do I need to do to have the Fix Version/s value removed when an issue is moved back to the Backlog?

If it is an option for you, you can utilize JIRA Suite Utilities (JSU) or JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE). Both apps have a clear field post function option.

@Daniel McRae If your JIRA instance has JIRA Suite Utilities (JSU) plugin, you can use "Clear Field Value" post-function to clear the value of "Fix Version/s" field. Please find below the add-on listing on Marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5048/jsu-automation-suite-for-jira-workflows?hosting=server&tab=overview

 

Also, please find below the documentation of "Clear Field Value" post-function from add-on vendor:

Is there a way to do this within native Jira? Why doesn't the "Update Issue Field" post function support Fix Version/s?

Is it possible to do this using Adaptavist ScriptRunner? I'm using a trial version of that right now and would rather purchase just one add-on rather than two.
