Show multiple fix versions in Backlog

[Season Hughes]

When an issue in the Backlog has multiple fix versions, it collapses those fix versions into "2 Versions."

Is there a setting that will allow us to see both versions at a glance in the backlog instead of collapsing them into "2 Versions"? Example below, where the 2 fix versions are "Alpha" and "Beta":

Hi @Season Hughes 

What you are asking for is not in out-of-the-box JIRA.  If you feel strongly about needing this, consider writing a suggestion to add the feature.  I could not find any similar open suggestions for this idea.

Also, please consider reviewing some of the explanations and discussions around the purpose and use of the Fix Version field.  They may lead you in a different direction than using multiple values.  Here is an example post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Questions/Fix-Versions-definition-is-problematic/qaq-p/1276357

Best regards,

How can i show even just one fix version in the backlog?

Hi @Kara Leise -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As noted earlier in this post, this is not possible with out-of-the-box Jira.  A work-around would be to use a custom field and an automation rule:

• Add a custom field, such as Display Fix Version
• Add an automation for Jira (A4) rule to update the custom field, selecting which of the fixVersion values you want included
• Add the custom field to your backlog's card layout.  Please note: this will not have the formatting of the built-in fixVersion field (color-coding, etc.)

Best regards,
Bill
