How can I add a fix version description to a filter?

[Sandra Goeller]

We are archiving our fix versions so no one can add to it after it is released, but our developers still want to be able to see the fix version and it's description, so I want to create a filter for them. Is it possible to pull the fix version description?

Hi @Sandra Goeller 
And welcome to the Atlassian community.

Even once archived, you and your developers can easily access it via the JIRA APIs.

<your-url>/rest/api/3/project/{projectIdOrKey}/versions

More informations here : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-versions/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectidorkey-versions-get

For example:

Hello @Yoann LEGRAND

When I say Developer, I mean my software developer, not the Jira Developer.

Thank you for your answer though.

Hi @Sandra Goeller 

No unless you have an app such as Scriptrunner and created a scripted field that fetch this information. You can only list version for the fixVersion field that return the name of them, not the description.

If you use the REST API it will return the version object including, name, description and release date.
