Change status to released

[tony cameraman]

I have a Board named ASDF, In that board under Relaeses tab I have a Version named: QWER. This version has 3 issues.

I want to change the status of the version to "Released" if all the issues are in "done" state. I don't know how to change the status to "Released".

I am trying to do this using JIRA-Python REST-API. I am also open to CLI method.

To update release status you can use the following Rest API with PUT method. 

PUT http://{PutYourDomainHere}:Port/jira/rest/api/2/version/{id}

Body Example

{
"self": "http://{PutYourDomainHere}:Port/jira/rest/api/2/version/10000",
"id": "10000",
"description": "An excellent version",
"name": "New Version 1",
"archived": false,
"released": true,
"releaseDate": "2010-07-06",
"userReleaseDate": "06/Jul/10",
"projectId": 10000
}

So, if you are going to use JIRA-Python-API: 

You'll need to create a function "release_version" to update release it will be similar to "create_version" with add "id" and change the Rest method to be PUT instead of Post

So, to achieve your scenario:

You will use "version_count_unresolved_issues(id)" to get to the list of unresolved issues for a specific version ID, if it return 0 ---> execute "release_version"

I hope this will help

I tried this and it was working. I couldn't complete it, because i could not find the Version ID. I have the name for each project and versions. I am trying to figure out the ID's. Once I complete it i will mark yours as answer. Thank you for the help!!

can you tell what is "self". Most of the functions created are having "self" as one of the parameters. What should i define it?

[Mohamed Adel]

Use self to represent the instance of the class

 is it possible to find the IssueID if it is unresolved in a version?

[Deleted user]

class myJIRA(JIRA):
    def release_version(self, name, project):
        version = self.get_project_version_by_name(project, name)
        if version:
            version.update(released=True)

This is new method "release_version" in redefined class
