I would only like the 'fix versions' to be displayed in the releases page and not the 'affects versions' is this possible? Currently on the releases page you can see both fix and affects versions.

Hi, @Sajana Karunagaran  - welcome to the Community!

Can you clarify? Are you saying that on the release hub, you only want to see releases that you deem "fix versions"?

If that's the case, I think there may be a misunderstanding in how those fields work. The Fix Version field on a ticket indicates which release a change is going into. The Affected Version is usually only used on bugs; the field indicates which release the code that caused the bug was included in (or which versions of your software the bug exists in, if your customers can download different versions). A bug can have multiple Affected Versions. So say you release Version 2 with 10 stories. Several months down the line you've already released Versions 3 and 4. At that point, someone reports a bug, and when tracking it down you determine that the code that causes the bug was part of one of the tickets released in Version 2. When you write up the bug, the Affected Version would be Version 2, and your Fix Version would be whatever upcoming version you choose to include the fix in.

So on the release hub, there's no concept of "affected version" to filter; it's just displaying all of the releases, which you can then click through to see all tickets included in those releases (via the Fix Version field).

If that doesn't answer your question, can you provide more details about what you're trying to find out? Screenshots would help.
